Continuing with tradition, a regional ag tour will include an overview of new vineyard development, neighborhoods facing a groundwater crisis, valuation challenges of urban in-fill, the development of low-cost housing in a rural community, and an overview of the operation of an aerial drone. There will be two unique opportunities to see the drone operate. In the preceding four years, conference themes have focused on the current events in our changing world.
