HBAC #60 - Regional Jigsaw Woes

* We discuss the parking situation around Ridgewood and unpack some of the history that shows this to be both a specific moment and a general occurrence in areas of growth and change.* Then we consider the situation developing in and around Westerville ahead of Intel development and in light of some recent, unfortunate news.* Then Kevin and Tim help preview an upcoming story regarding 23 acres of Brown Township up for zoning adjustments that will be involved in a November ballot issue attempting to overturn that determination.* Discussion turns to “media” at this level and what the future may hold for the region in terms of a collaborative effort of some kind.* Jordan briefly shares his support for Council’s resolution to call for peace in Palestine. Despite it “not changing anything” the expression and demand for recognition of humanity should be understood as a cornerstone of meaningful society. Whether it is in Ukraine, Haiti, Sudan, Ecuador or elsewhere (and always within the United States itself) peace should be the demand - war itself is the true enemy.We wrap up with a little quick chat on what was a successful first open house at Franklin Street.We hope you’ll join us by subscribing to and pledging your financial support for The Hilliard Beacon.
