"Creative placemaking for us---a small town on a state highway that's the main street---is really about economic development and about triggering a response in those traveling through the city of, 'Hey, there's something going on here and we should stop to explore it.'" --- Douglas Self, Planning Administrator, City of Driggs, Idaho
