Audio files are available now from “Masonite, The Discussion,” a lively presentation and discussion about the consequences of our upcoming decision about zoning for the former Masonite site. Should the property remain industrial land or should it be rezoned to allow for large scale retail development? How might these different outcomes affect Mendocino County in the long-run?
Govinda Dalton, Simka Leha, Dave Smith, Tonya DiAndrea and Sean Re of MEC/KMEC handled the live broadcast. The audio can be downloaded from KMEC-LP 105.1FM’s Homepage (viewers may also play either hour directly from the webpage also.)
The program featured a presentation by Michael Shuman. Mr. Shuman is an economist, attorney, nationally acclaimed author (The Small-Mart Revolution and Going Local) and is a co-founder of the Business Alliance for Living Local Economies (BALLE). Time then was provided for perspectives from local planning and land use professionals. Audience questions followed the presentation. Moderated by KC Meadows, Editor of the Ukiah Daily Journal.
Event was sponsored by the Ukiah Main Street Program, City of Ukiah, Greater Ukiah Localization Project, Ukiah Valley Chamber of Commerce, Ukiah Valley Smart Growth Coalition, The Hampton Inn, Penofin Performance Coatings, Inc., and Tribal Economic Development.
