The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce’s Ag & Natural Resources Committee will begin their next round of “Lunchtime Conversations About Open Spaces” with “The Role of Land Use Planning” on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023, at 12 p.m. at Luminous Brewhouse, 504 Broadway St. in Sheridan.

The committee relaunched the series in 2022 after the pandemic put the initial round on hold. In 2022, more than 200 people attended the four sessions. This year’s sessions are “Water” on Tuesday, Feb. 28, “Maintaining and Managing Open Spaces” on Tuesday, March 28, and the series will wrap up with an examination of communities that have been successful at maintaining open spaces on Tuesday, April 25.

During each session, the topic will be interactively explored with attendees with the focus on what is balanced use of our open space, and can we continue to balance that use into the future? Each session will also discuss the importance of open spaces to our community’s economy and culture now and into the future. Attendees are encouraged to join in with questions and discussion.

Each session will be held from 12 to 1 p.m. at Luminous Brewhouse. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. No registration is necessary. Bring your lunch and your questions and comments to join the conversation.
