About this Event

Join us on Friday the 13th of March for the Pathways to the Future Regional Symposium: What a Fright!

It's scary not to plan for our region's future!

Learn about the urgent housing needs our region faces and a new tool that shows how we might address them. Vote on scenarios for transportation projects and talk safety. Explore how all these issues are interconnected across the Richmond region.

You're invited to learn, examine, problem solve, and connect with other residents, experts, and local officials to keep our region from suffering the bad luck of uncoordinated planning.

Free. Lunch included. Space is limited.

Outline:

  • Networking/check-in.
  • Welcome and Program Overview: How is all of this connected?
  • Fright #1: What the Market Value Analysis (MVA) tells us about housing and demographic trends and why that's scary.
  • Lunch.
  • Fright #2: Transportation scenarios for now and the future. How do we talk about safety? What package would you choose?
  • Connection and call to action.
