Rural Reimagined Grand Challenge

Rural Reimagined recognizes a developing community partnership with Ms. Jill Stalnaker, an entrepreneur and local business owner. Ms. Stalnaker is the founder of the Leaning Tree Agency, a music agency that connects with authentic and unique artists. In addition, Ms. Stalnaker directs the MECCA (Music Enrichment for Community Centered Advancement) Music Festival, a Tennessee festival that travels across the state each year, showcasing undiscovered talent in rural TN.

Rural Reimagined’s partner, the TCRI, has connected Ms. Stalnaker with intern Grant Crumpton, a digital design major. Grant will support MECCA by using his software development and coding skills to design the website. Regarding her partnership with RR, Ms. Stalnaker states, “Rural Reimagined is giving me the opportunity to utilize the best they have to offer to grow my business!” Rural Reimagined is excited to see Grant’s progress and the future of this partnership with MECCA and the Leaning Tree Agency.
