What happens when a small town with big character wants to grow—but not lose what makes it special? In this episode, we explore how communities can preserve their soul while attracting meaningful economic development. We unpack real-world solutions for planners and city managers, from creative zoning to smart partnerships, and spotlight how the tension between tradition and progress can actually fuel innovation. It’s not about choosing between the past and the future—it’s about building both.
