Calendar

Since 2011, a flurry of building has been changing the landscape of our city, building excitement all around. For each 20 new building projects, a mylar balloon dances and shimmers in the breeze, its height indicating the quantity of permits issued each year. These balloons reflect a new energy felt all over town. At this joyful time of year, however, it is important to remember that all must have a share in the growth. The size of the balloons indicates relative affordability of rental units in the city. It’s time to lift everyone up for a better view!
