Strong Towns – Local Conversations, The Next Step
This is a follow-up to my August 13, 2022, podcast – Strong Towns – A New Thinking About La Plata’s Growth. This update is timely, given the continued development in and adjacent to La Plata during the past year.
Full disclosure: I’ve been a Strong Town member for two years, following their blog and podcasts. Strong Town provides what I believe is a needed nuanced perspective about growth!
Also, the views and opinions are mine, as one Town Council member, and do not reflect to views and opinions of the Town.
