On May 18, 2007 over 300 leaders from the seven-county region gathered to engage in tabletop exercises designed to increase awareness and educate about the interrelationships among regional land use, transportation systems, and natural resources. Participants, led by trained facilitators, join 10-person groups to use a detailed map to plan future growth by placing Lego® building blocks to represent additional homes and jobs. These individuals are asked to determine where new residents will live and new employment will locate.
