Mississippi State's Community Action Team hosted community leaders from across the state recently gathered at Lake Tiak O'Khata Resort in Louisville to learn design, planning and other community development skills to improve their cities and towns. Teams of participants worked through design and planning issues of a fictitious town called "Your Town."
