Community leader and housing expert Ryan Kilpatrick (Flywheel Companies) will unpack the vital link between housing, policy, and vibrancy in Uptown GR, from walkability to affordability to thriving local businesses. This is your chance to ask questions and share ideas in a truly community-driven session.

Together, we’ll explore how thoughtful housing and policy decisions can enhance Uptown’s vibrancy, support local businesses, and create a more inclusive, walkable community - and how you can play a role in shaping that future.
