Open Forum discussion
Newsmakers Breakfasts are discussion forums, a “Meet the Press” where the audience asks questions.
This will not be about any one development, said Dave Yochum, editor of Cornelius Today and the host of the Newsmakers Breakfasts. “Rather, it’s about the process and outcomes for new development in a slow-growth environment,” he said.
“Homeowners are concerned about not just their property taxes but traffic and the impact on local schools,” he said. “Our three newsmakers will have three different points of view.”
