Where and how will everyone live and work? How do we avoid the’ negative sides of growth? How do we encourage strong economic growth? How do we build needed infrastructure with limited public funds? Residents and business owners attending the “CONNECT Our Future” open house will be asked to provide input on what they value about their commu- nity and region, and what they think are the biggest challenges facing the re- gion. ‘The drop-in open house is staffed, will have board exhibits and stations, and people can ask questions, provide input, and are free to come and go as they choose during the open house time period.
