Ever wondered about the myth of a cougar in Rouse's parking lot or chuckled at the thought of a city inspector doubling as a stand-up comic? Join us as Bryant Dixon, the Zachary City Planning and Zoning Director, brings lightness to the serious world of city planning. We bust myths, laugh at Scott Masterson's dad jokes, and unpack the complexities of infrastructure that affect our daily lives, proving that city planning isn't all about maps and regulations.
Bringing Bryant's background in Environmental Affairs to the conversation, we explore the exciting new software from Forerunner that's revolutionizing flood risk assessment in Zachary. He also shares insights from my time with the New Orleans Sewage and Water Board, drawing parallels to the current challenges in our city. Together with Bryant, we reveal how these technological advancements are not just simplifying our processes but could also lead to significant savings for our residents on flood insurance.
Wrapping up this enlightening episode, we turn our focus to Zachary's growth and economic development. We tackle the careful balance between supporting local businesses and attracting bigger franchises, and discuss the smart growth strategies propelling our community into the future. From enhancing property information access to celebrating our emergency services, we cover the myriad ways in which digital tools and community efforts are keeping Zachary safe, competitive, and thriving.
