Whether that goal be clean water, reconnecting communities, or even lowering electricity costs, working with a purpose is not only fulfilling, but also possibly the answer to improving the county’s infrastructure problems. However, as you’ll see in one story, having a common goal doesn’t mean there won’t be pushback on how to get there. We’ll also cover intersection safety, a $10 million anti-speeding campaign, and the benefits of wire technology; we hope you enjoy them.
