We had the pleasure of hearing Max speak at last Thursday's Council of Governments meeting. We encourage you to read the article and get outdoors (when it's cool).

HABPI board member Max Bramel recently made a presentation to the Adams County Council of Governments about the economic benefits of bike trails. The Gettysburg Times did a great job reporting on the presentation in today's paper.

"The final package combines nearly 50 individual housing proposals addressing housing supply, affordability, financing, zoning, workforce development, fair housing, property rehabilitation and other housing challenges. NAR engaged in every component of the legislation, providing research, policy recommendations, technical expertise and real-world perspectives from housing markets across the country." AND
