VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Day 2 Welcome!
Carly Roszkowski:Thanks, Mike.
It’s fantastic to be here for another day of engaging discussions, presentations, and more.
Yesterday, we focused on the place-based elements of economic development.
So Mike, what should our viewers know to get started?
Mike Watson:Thanks Carly.
Yeah, there’s going to be some important things we want to underscore before we get started.
And just like yesterday, we’re going to get the conversation going there again.
So yesterday, we asked you to share your biggest challenge your community is facing on economic development.
And of course, you’re able to use chat for conversation throughout the workshop.
Now, I also want to familiarize you with some of the accessibility features today.
And following along on our handle @AARPLivable.
Now on your screen, you should see the instructions for joining Slido.
That’s all one word.
Or you’re able to pull out your phone and scan the QR code on the screen.
This entire program is being recorded and it will be posted and shared onAARP.org/Livable2023in the coming weeks.
So now that we’ve covered all that, Carly, are we ready to test out a poll?
Carly Roszkowski:Yes.
I think we are ready to go.
Let’s test this out now with our first poll question.
So follow those instructions and verify you’re on the Polls tab.
Here is our warm-up question: “What state or country are you joining us from?”
Mike, what are we seeing?
Minnesota, Wisconsin were pretty high up on the list, pretty big and bold yesterday.
And there we go again, Minnesota is right in the center of that, um, shining bright.
So, uh, shout out to AARP Minnesota.
And all of your partners and colleagues for joining in today.
So, lots of representation from across the country here today.
But again, a big prominent presence from Minnesota.
Carly Roszkowski:Excellent.
Excellent to see so many people tuning in.
So today we’re also going to be using this app with some quiz questions throughout the event.
So let’s go to our first one.
The question is, “Which of the following is not associated with higher property values?”
Go ahead and make your choice.
Mike, what are we seeing from the early polls?
Roughly 16 or 15 folks are saying complete streets policy and compact development patterns.
Carly Roszkowski:We have a lot of correct people in the room.
The correct answer is B, availability of off-street parking is not associated with higher property values.
So homes closer to parks and open spaces have higher property values than those further away.
Is it:
So go ahead and make your choice.
Mike, what are we seeing now?
Mike Watson:So Carly, again, we got a pretty strong response here.
And another 22 percent are saying that it increases properties by about $500.
Now we were kind of batting a thousand leading into this question, got the first one right.
I know the answer to this, and I think we’re going to continue that trend.
Carly, do you want to tell us what the answer is?
So small improvements can make huge impacts in communities.
