The University of Lynchburg announced Wednesday an initiative it hopes will help the city thrive: Lynchburg Tomorrow.
The project, housed by the university, looks to identify and meet the needs of the city by bringing together organizations, nonprofits, agencies, schools, faith-based institutions, businesses, citizens and other resources.
Alison Morrison-Shetlar, president of the university, said the collaborative initiative has been in the works for much of her nearly one-year tenure with the university.
âLynchburg Tomorrow is about leveraging resources through a collective impact and asset development model to support the success of the city,â Morrison-Shetlar said.
Steered by a committee of city and university leaders, Lynchburg Tomorrow will first work to support the cityâs strategic plan by directly addressing three areas of need: access to healthy food, affordable health care and leadership development.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Casual weekend conversations among leaders turned to action this week. The University of Lynchburg is announcing the launch of a collaboration between school and city leaders.
“Lynchburg Tomorrow started with the convening of just five people one Saturday morning late last year,” University of Lynchburg President Alison Morrison-Shetlar said.
School and city leaders have spent the past year coming up with a three-part plan to make a difference in the Hill City. The plan involves several organizations in the community.
