It's no secret that Colorado Springs continues to grow. Almost anywhere you go in the city some sort of development project is underway and that momentum does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
But what are the ways a City like ours can grow? That is what will be being answered on Wednesday when a panel will have a public discussion about this concerning Colorado Springs.
From 6-8 p.m., speakers will gather at the Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center to talk about that as well as what cities should consider when looking at growth and annexations, including economic development, infrastructure, state and local trends, environmental impact, and quality of life.
“This event is an exciting opportunity to bring together an expert panel of speakers from around the state as we as a community continue to discuss what growth in the Colorado Springs region should look like,” said Katie Carleo, acting assistant planning director for the City of Colorado Springs. “We encourage residents to attend and listen to what lessons we can learn from other communities, and what unique experiences and challenges Colorado Springs should be prepared to address.”
