Thinking outside the 'burg
Monday, April 20, 2026/Categories: Magazine
About the cover: With all due respect to our member ‘villes (23) and ‘tons (19), we are featuring four of our 11 ‘burg members in this issue. But don’t worry – we’re not going out of print anytime soon (we hope), so there will be plenty of chances to cover everyone! In this issue, we highlight the ways in which Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Petersburg, and Pearisburg are making a difference outside their localities or creating reasons for outsiders to take an interest. Learn more inside.
Inside:
- City of Fredericksburg: Vice-Mayor Charlie Frye lives local and dreams big
- City of Harrisonburg: Councilmember Laura Dent thinks local and acts global (literally)
- City of Petersburg: The “Cockade City” makes its own luck
- Town of Pearisburg: A little mountain town attracts a new manager from far away
- 2026 Innovation Awards call for entries
