ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
This episode, we abandon our assumptions about how great Batavia is and give ourselves over to objectivity.
Ward 4 Alderman Dustin Pieper is back to run through 10 questions that help determine whether a town is truly a strong town. Dustin runs the Strong Towns Batavia Local Conversation and has become well-versed in what makes a thriving, resilient town.
Will Batavia pass the test? You'll have to listen to find out.
PLUS: We introduce Area Code: Batavia's new co-host, Alexa Swidenbank and a brand new opening segment, Neighborhood Watch!
