How shall we grow?
Location:
3100 Camino Del Rio Court,
Bakersfield, CA
What's important? Maintaining open space? Having enough water? Plenty of affordable housing? The Kern Council of Governments is putting on a Kern Regional Blueprint Summit to gather answers to those questions. Leaders there have invited all county supervisors, and councilmembers from throughout the county, according to a Kern COG press release. The public is invited too. What: Kern Regional Blueprint Summit When: 6-9 p.m. Thursday, June 26, 2008 Where: Doubletree Hotel, 3100 Camino Del Rio Court in Bakersfield Why does it matter? According to Kern COG's press release on the summit, the county's population is projected to grow to 2.1 million people within 50 years. Yep, that's nearly triple the people we have now! 1 comments from 1 users

Interesting report last night (?)on the news ~ the exodus from suburbia to the "inner city" in most major cities is well under way due to energy costs. We need to quit expanding and back-fill,address water and green space concerns~ and mass transit.It would be nice to be ahead of the curve for once instead of behind 15-20 years.
