The Democratic Womens' Club Forum discussion for June will be focusing on the issue of Transect Planning. The meeting will be open to the public, as always, and is one in a series of very informative, issues education events the Women's Club is sponsoring this year. The meeting will be held at the Coastal Branch Library meeting room on June 25th at 2:00 p.m. Mark Schnell, a town planner and one of the local citizens who came together to develop the plan, will give a presentation on the subject. Mark's presentation takes the complex subject and breaks down its substantial benefits for those of us who are not urban planners, architects, or administrators. Transect planning will enable Walton County to develop in a sustainable, predictable path of growth. A smart, transparent code is the first step toward breaking the choke hold of land developers on local politics. Bring a friend -- regardless of political persuasion -- and let's make sure every citizen of Walton County understands the importance of adopting a smart, clear, transparent code.
