Dinner and a Movie
Last week, we hosted our first Dinner and a Movie event at BCC South County Center in Great Barrington. Starting with pizza, salad and introductions, attendees identified themselves as local residents coming from 6 different towns, representing numerous community organizations and town boards, all with an interest in sustainable communities. We screened Affordable Green Housing from the PBS e2 design series, then CDCSB Executive Director Tim Geller facilitated a the community conversation on “What does ‘sustainable community’ look like in the southern Berkshires?”
The lively conversation moved between topics such as green building, affordable housing financing, development in downtown areas, health and housing concerns, preserving open space and farm land, and addressing the stigma around affordable housing. It was an engaging, thought-provoking evening that left us all looking forward to similar events in the future.
