A
The
American
Planning
Association
has
recognized
Arlington's
commitment
to
planning
and
smart
growth
will
tell
you
more
about
the
gold
winning
team
later

but
first
Arlington,
County,
Board,
Chair
JC,
said
survey
twenty
years
of
change,
growth
and
development
in
Arlington
and
looked
toward
future
challenges
during
his
state
of
the
county
address
to
the
Arlington
chamber
of
commerce.
Let's.
B
B
That's
a
model
in
so
many
areas
of
public
life,
while
at
the
same
time
protecting
the
connectedness
and
the
compassion
of
a
small
town,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
happen
to
make
that
kind
of
a
recipe,
work
and
I.
Think
most
people
in
this
room
are
part
of
that
success
story
are
part
of
that.
B
Compassionate
network
are
part
of
that
that
technology,
expansion
and
the
building
boom
and
the
transportation
system
and
all
the
things
that
have
to
work
together
so
I
think
it'd
be
being
part
of
that
stability
and
leadership
through
the
20
years
of
that
transformation
stay
true.
The
division
of
values,
ground
yourselves
in
solid
planning
and
policy,
listen
and
lead
and
then
finally
respect
and
be
informed
by
the
past,
while
continuing
to
be
open
to
new
and
creative
ideas
for
the
future.
