CONNECTING DOTS
The Better Together Boards & Commissions Summit gave not only our team, but our Planning & Zoning Commission the chance to interact with other commission members. Best practices were shared and healthy conversation were had around collaborative ways to drive growth in EP. From the Infraday Conference, our project manager was able to come back to our department with new perspective on the importance of our work. Hearing from seasoned industry professionals provided valuable context on the built environment, tools utilized within it, and why having the right team is important.
