Housing & Economics Day

LSCC Class 35 Santa Cruz County Housing Economics charrette

Class 35's Housing and Local Economy Day featured speakers Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, the county's Economic Development Coordinator Barbara Mason, and Fred Keeley. A panel titled "A Tale of Three Cities" with the community development directors of Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Scotts Valley highlighted current projects and development challenges. Two of the panelists - Taylor Bateman and Lee Butler happen to be current members of the class!

Matthew Thompson of Thacher & Thompson Architects facilitated a #charrette - a planning session where citizens, designers, and other stakeholders collaborate on a vision for #sustainabledevelopment.

Thank you to Santa Cruz County Association of Realtors for sponsoring the day and a delicious lunch. Swenson Builders sponsored breakfast.
