Show #16: One city's sprawl is another town's growth




The Civic Commons Podcast show

Summary: <p class="p1">Angie Schmitt recently started a conversation on Civic Commons she titled "<a href="../../conversations/172"><span class="s1">It's the Sprawl, Stupid.</span></a>" It's become kind of a big deal around our office. It's grown so big it almost broke part of our system. Anyway, because so many of you are talking about it, Angie came on to the radio show to debate two exurban economic development enthusiasts. It was both cordial and heated, especially when Angie told economic development directors Tim Smith of Brunswick and Ralph Waszak of the Village of Richfield that she thought we should do away with all economic development offices. Funny thing was, Tim agreed with her.</p>
