In early 2022, Intel announced their intentions to invest $20 billion in Licking County. New Albany and the County are already seeing significant investment and job growth. They are also seeing increased competition for talent and pressure on developing treasured natural landscapes. With multiple jurisdictions likely to be affected, Newark-based T.J. Evans Foundation assumed the role of the neutral convener for 15 jurisdictions to create a framework for where and how to grow. This program will provide background of the process, the insight on desired outcomes, and emphasize the approach for improving the opportunity to create a more viable and desirable place through design.
