January 22, 2015 – The BSU planning students presented to a full house at the Thursday night Industry neighborhood association meeting. Residents compiled a list of items that they like about their neighborhood as well as a list of things that could be improved. The students will use these lists to help draft the neighborhood’s action steps that may then be used by residents to build upon neighborhood strengths and make the necessary improvements.
