RichmondBrainstorm.com may be an online destination, but it was created to help make the real world a better place. The new website collects ideas from Richmond, Indiana residents about how to make the community a better place to live, work and play.

Visitors to the site can submit their ideas into a number of categories – from Arts and Culture to Government, Historic Preservation to Technology – and explain why they think implementing the idea would benefit the community. Then other site users can review the ideas and vote on them, comment on them, and even share related success stories.

“It’s a collaborative way to hold up all of the great ideas floating around this community for making it a better place,” said Chris Hardie, the site’s creator. “It’s a way to share in creating each others` visions for a better future, and to know we have the resources right here for doing that.”
