Panel/Q&A style discussion around the positive impact development can have on communities when conducted in a collaborative and meaningful way. St. Rita’s Place and The Cascia Center will be the focal point of the discussion, as the project and its mission serve as a prime example of how development can positively impact the surrounding community and its people. The sustainability aspect of the project will be emphasized, along with its community integration and support features, as The Cascia Center serves as a place for refuge and mediation in the community and for those who visit the shrine.
