2007 AIA Wyoming Fall Meeting Wrap-Up & Summary Resource Page
CaseStudy JacksonHole The Question is WHAT DO WE DO NOW? What are you doing in your communities with this new information. How are you sharing your unique skill set and expertise to (re)form your community's future? Please share your story & perspective with the members. With over 75 attendees and with the support of our many community leaders and planners CaseStudy JacksonHole proved to be more than just an experiment in dialogue and examination in growth & planning. It set the tone for all future meetings in the state and will hopefully become an on-going component to our annual gatherings. The volunteer Board of AIA Wyoming decided to try this new format because of the ever increasing pressure of growth on the individual communities within the state/region and the rising perception that perhaps we are not all on the same page. The outcome proved we are all interested and concerned about the future of our 'home' communities and the future of the state as a whole. We would also like to say Thank you to our amazing facilitator and speaker, Luther Propst and to our panelists, Mark Barron, Mayor of Jackson and Andy Schwartz, Teton County Commissioner for adding their frank words to the discussion. And Thank you to Luther &the Sonoran Institute for all of the Building from the Best Books to participants, what a special gift. Visit their website to get more copies: www.sonoran.org The Workshop was facilitated by Jonathan Schechter who started off the Morning Sessions with an introduction to the issues, the state of things, the problems here-in followed by Luther Propst showing examples of what communities are doing around the region to combat the problem and their successes. Both gentlemen then joined a panel comprising of local leaders to put a specific face on the issues. Jackson Hole & Teton County dominated the dialogue, but all participants agree this communities issues are not so unique. The afternoon included smaller roundtable discussions based on topics the participants voted on, these smaller groups then presented (new) ideas on how we might re-structure our thinking and actions in regards to each issue. The following morning we revisited these issues in a Take-Away Discussion, what did each participant learn or "take-away" fro the previous days sessions. The chosen roundtable issues were:Affordable Housing, Downtown (re)Development, Mixed Use Development, Regulations, Community Character, Encouraging Good Design, & County Zoning/Rezoning. To
