Nick Snead AICP, the Community Development Director at the City of Madras, OR, and Dustin Nilsen AICP, the Planning Director of Hood River, OR, join the PWP mobile studio to share lessons learned from planning in smaller, often rural, communities in Oregon. While many of the planning concepts discussed at the national level highlight work being conducted in the metropolitan areas, planning in small communities is of equal importance to community development and the planning field as a whole. Nick and Dustin share their wisdom, discussing many of the advantages and disadvantages they have witnessed during their time in public service, in an episode that covers extensive ground. Join us to explore how to add additional planning silver bullets to your planning toolkit as we learn from two practiced experts on why planning for small cities truly represents a Neapolitan sandwich of experiences and opportunities.
