SUMMARY:NEPA Moves : Exploring How Smarter Land Use Can Strengthen NEPA Communities

With experience in architecture\, city planning\, and community development\, she collaborates with local governments and developers to make sure growth happens in ways that support both people and places.During her presentation\, Molly will share how thoughtful land use decisions can help attract new development\, speed up project approvals\, improve access to jobs\, and increase public transit use—providing practical ideas for planners\, investors\, and community leaders here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.By understanding how land use decisions shape transportation options\, workforce access\, and neighborhood vitality\, we can make more informed investments and choices that benefit everyone who calls Northeastern Pennsylvania home. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
