On Oct. 20, the second panel will look at new directions in the county’s hospitality, technology and retail sectors, and how these fields affect growth, quality of life and economic development.
The last panel, on Nov. 17, will discuss the role of government and business in creating housing alternatives and regulating housing costs.
