Make sure to check out, and get involved with, MyRegion.org.
Simply put, the projects goal is to figure out a plan for how to best grow the region. Our population is slated to double over the next 40 years, and it's important to decide now the things that are important to us. Green space, transportation, community structures, etc.
Over the next couple weeks, every night at 9pm there will be a program on WMFE-TV outlining the various choices that have been drawn up. If you can't watch/tivo it, make sure to poke around on their website. Invest 30 minutes of your time and make your thoughts known. Spread the word to anyone else in the area as well.
You can also follow along with the MyRegion at howshallwegrow.org (props to Josh Hallett)
