Spring is blooming with progress across the Rio Reimagined landscape. In this latest update, our own Hummingbird Collective CEO and Rio Reimagined Ambassador, Cindi Ptak, reflects on recent regional wins, key upcoming opportunities for tribal and municipal partners, and how strategic coordination continues to unlock federal momentum for this one-of-a-kind place-based initiative.

From collaborative planning to grant alignment and corridor strategy, the Rio effort is entering a new phase—and Hummingbird Collective remains at the heart of it.
