درباره این اپیزود
James Corless has spent nine years as Executive Director of SACOG, the regional planning agency for the greater six-county Sacramento area.
Before that he was in Washington D.C. fighting to keep federal infrastructure funding alive through the Tea Party era.
In this episode of Between Two Shovels, Derek Minnema sits down with James for a wide-ranging conversation about what regional planning actually takes. How MPOs work and why they were created.
What it took to build consensus across 28 cities and counties. How Green Means Go went from a $100 million regional idea to a $600 million statewide program.
What the upcoming federal transportation reauthorization means for Sacramento. And why James believes midsize regions like Sacramento are about to carry the next 50 years in America.
