AIA Santa Barbara & Coastal Housing Coalition present Mayoral Candidate Forum on the Built Environment

Join us on October 8 from 5:00–6:30 PM for a conversation with Santa Barbara’s mayoral candidates focused on housing, development, infrastructure, and the future of local urban planning.

With the State Street Master Plan moving toward implementation, housing remaining a critical issue, and the city facing infrastructure challenges and tight municipal budgets, the decisions ahead will have a lasting impact on Santa Barbara’s built environment.

Moderators Bob Kupiec, AIA Santa Barbara, and Barry Taugher, Coastal Housing Coalition, will ask the candidates to address the policies, priorities, and concrete plans they would bring to the city.

This is a webinar event. For access information, please contact [email protected].
