Description

From Vision to Value: How Community Planning Impacts Business

The Business Case for Community Visioning


Join us for a high-impact luncheon as the Worthington Area Chamber welcomes Jamie Greene of Planning NEXT, the consultant behind Worthington Together, our city's comprehensive master planning process.

In this timely and business-forward presentation, Jamie will explore how intentional, community-wide planning drives economic growth, attracts talent and creates a more competitive environment for businesses. Drawing on compelling stories and case studies, he’ll illustrate the clear link between community visioning and business vitality.

This isn’t just a look at what's ahead for Worthington—it’s an invitation to help shape it. Attendees will:

  • Hear how other cities have leveraged planning to strengthen local economies
  • Learn why business input is critical to building a thriving, future-ready community
  • Engage in a live feedback session to influence the Worthington Together plan
  • Gain answers to your biggest questions

Whether you own a storefront, lead a team or shape policy, this is your opportunity to understand—and impact—the future of Worthington through a business lens.

📝 Registration Required. Lunch will be provided. Seating is limited. Registration closes August 7th. No refunds will be given after registration closes.


MEET OUR SPEAKER: Jamie A. Greene, AIA, FAICP, is the founder and principal of Planning NEXT, a community planning practice based in central Ohio.

Jamie and his team are guiding the City of Worthington’s current comprehensive planning process, known as Worthington Together. Jamie has spent the past 28-plus years being inspired by the voices and values of the communities served by the firm. In addition to clients in central Ohio,  Jamie has worked throughout the country on numerous award-winning comprehensive planning efforts in high performing suburban communities, including: Overland Park, KS; Cary, NC, Franklin, TN; and Loudoun County, VA. These efforts have integrated the business perspective into the larger considerations of what it takes to make an enduring community.

Jamie prioritizes helping his clients answer the question, “What’s next?” This means integrating strategic analysis of conditions and trends with community insights and values, both in service of implementation, moving from planning to doing.
