FIRM Staff Members Rev. Sophia DeWitt, Christine Barker and Franklin Yang traveled to Kansas City, MO, February 5-9 to take part in this year’s New Partners for Smart Growth Conference. These conferences are a great place to learn and network with other Smart Growth practitioners, and bring information back for our continuing Building Healthy Communities work around the Fresno General Plan Update.
FIRM’s work in community engagement was highlighted in a PACKED workshop about the Fresno experience passing Alternative A, at which Rev. Dr. Sharon Stanley spoke. The workshop was highly successful-and FIRM staff enjoyed their brief reunion with Sharon.
