This workshop will explore neighborhood and community revitalization, as well as access to affordable housing.  We will highlight the successes and difficulties of one project in particular, known as "61 Hills", a neighborhood west of downtown Anderson, SC.  More broadly, the intersection between land use, communities, and social equity will also be explored.
