KUT, LBJ School, Monitor plan CitySummit
Thursday, October 30, 2014 by Michael Kanin
The Monitor is again joining forces with our reporting partners at KUT and the LBJ School of Public Affairs to produce a half-day seminar designed to look at key issues facing the City of Austin as it moves into the post-10-1 world. It’s set for Dec. 5 at UT’s Thompson Center. The topics for the day will be mobility, planning and revenues (read: how we pay for it all), each covered by its own panel. Attendees can expect to come away with a better understanding of the issues and some ideas about how to deliver on impact. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. The event is set to conclude at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15-$20. Sign-up is here. Panelists for the three sessions will be announced Nov. 10.
