Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most in-person events have been canceled. Here is a list of online/webinar events this week (and the occasional outdoor, in-person event).
- Tuesday Developing for the Missing Middle. Is it time to build housing for those who can’t afford market-rate housing but don’t qualify for affordable housing? How do we create housing for those in the “missing middle”? Join SPUR for a discussion. Tuesday, Aug. 25, 12:30 p.m. Register for Zoom Link.
- Tuesday Designing for Big Projects.
