Guest blogged on RenewLV crossroads blog. Check it out here! Wrote about tomorrow mornings ‘Curbside Chat’ with the Strongtowns.org organization. Renew Lehigh Valley (RenewLV) is a smart growth organization working to strengthen the region’s core communities, preserve open space, and create a sustainable and equitable foundation for future growth.

The Strongtowns message has been the foundation of my interest in smart growth. At it’s core smart growth is a fiscally conservative policy that addresses the fundamental issue of fiscal sustainability. Simply put, new development should produce a return on taxpayer investment in infrastructure and services. I look forward to hearing the message in the context of Lower Macungie Township.

What: Curbside Chat
When: Jan 9th 8am
Where: Lower Macungie Township Municipal building.
