This webinar is ideal for community leaders, planners, and economic development professionals looking to link place-making with long-term growth. Presenter: Cameron Correll, Community Design Manager, Blueprint Kentucky About the Community Design in Action Series: How communities are designed shapes how people experience everyday life—from getting kids to school to gathering downtown or accessing local services.
