The Eagle County Commissioners are inviting the public to participate in a series of “Community Conversations” this winter on three topics: housing, climate change and early childhood development. Each conversation in the series will take place in two locations, one in the Eagle Valley and one in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The Community Conversations are intended to engage residents, business owners and partners in discussions with elected officials, expert panelists and each other on topics critical to the region. The format for the evenings will include dinner at 5:30 p.m., followed by panel presentations and a group discussion from 6 to 8 p.m. facilitated by one of the county commissioners. All events are free; however, RSVPs are requested.
The first two Community Conversations will cover affordable housing and will feature panelists from Community Builders, the Summit Combined Housing Authority and the Eagle County Housing Department.
