How do we value our Historic Downtown? We love the way it looks, the way it makes us feel, the people we meet, and the conversations we have on our excursions through Downtown. But what role does our Downtown play in the economic vitality of Petaluma? And how can our Downtown do even better as the financial driver of Petaluma? What is a Downtown worth?

To complement the community conversations about the future of downtown and the proposed Downtown Overlay, Know Before You Grow will present thirty minutes of videos from multiple sources, including internationally-known urban economist Joe Minicozzi. The videos are intended to frame an extended Q&A session and discussion that will follow.

The forum will be on Zoom. However, as has become the practice for KBYG Zoom forums, the offices of LivXplore Realty will be open for those who wish to participate in the company of others. We're a lively, congenial bunch. Join us!
