Florence is growing—but how does the city prepare for that growth without losing what makes the community special?

Florence Assistant City Manager Clint Moore joins Robert and Reeves to explain the planning behind the city’s development. They discuss Florence’s long-term comprehensive plan, major water and sewer investments, downtown revitalization, neighborhood improvements, infrastructure challenges, and the city’s goal of adding 1,000 residential units downtown.

Clint also explains why public projects can take years to complete, how new development can help improve existing infrastructure, and why community involvement matters as Florence plans for the next several decades.
