    • Tuesday, April 30th, 8:00 – 11:30 am, Hyatt Regency Greenville. Forum attendance is free but registration is required. 
    • Greenville County’s growth is a boon to the economy, but new residents and visitors put stress on our roads and our ability to move people efficiently to the places they want to live and to go. How and where can transit work well in our area, and how does it connect with housing, land use, and overall development? Further, how can we encourage smarter land use decisions to better support expanded transit and mobility options? 
    • Join Christof Spieler, a nationally recognized expert on transit, land use, and planning, for an informative discussion about what makes transit effective and how it could be used to benefit a growing Greenville County.  This event continues the conversation from the well-received Missing Middle Housing Forum in October 2018, which explored how more diverse housing types could provide expanded options for millennials, retirees, those in need of more affordable housing, and other markets we are currently underserving in Greenville County. Register here
