WATCH: 'I Love Norristown' Kicks Off With Video Campaign

NORRISTOWN, PA — The National League of Cities is organizing the "Love My City" campaign, in which residents from municipalities nationwide share what makes their community special.

So Norristown put together a video to participate the campaign. They canvassed people from all walks of life, from local residents and business owners to municipal staff, and asked them about why they loved Norristown.

Below is the short five minute video that was put together by NASDtv.

“As local leaders, we know the emotional bonds people create with their communities have a powerful impact on prosperity and livability,” NLC President Karen Freeman-Wilson, mayor of Gary, Indiana, said in a statement describing the campaign. “According to research from the Knight Foundation and Gallup, the stronger the attachment of residents to their communities, the higher the gross domestic product growth. We also know that when people love someone or something, they will give their time, talent and treasure for it. As local leaders, we have to create cities that our citizens will love.”
