Community Development in SoCal
Community development is essential to how all the elements of where we live fit together and impact how we experience our communities. Eric Nelson is a 20-year community development expert who has impacted the lives of thousands of Southern Californians through his work in residential and commercial developments. He is Vice Chair of the Planning Commission at the City of Dana Point, a past President of the Orange County Chapter of the Building Industry Association of Southern California and Vice President of Community Development at Trumark Homes. He brings all of this experience and his SoCal “native son” perspective to his work. On this episode of SoCal Voices, Eric talks about the importance of community development to our overall quality of life. He also talks about his favorite project — the innovative Covina Bowl development — that captures the essence of community development and community preservation. He also shares his 10-year vision for the future of community development in SoCal.
