We’re devoting this week’s discussion to one topic: Harrisburg’s comprehensive plan. Burg editor in chief Larry Binda and city reporter Lizzy Hardison follow the years-long project from its auspicious beginning to acrimonious end. What caused the project to sour? Who shares blame for the breakdown between the city and its contractor? And what does the plan even say, anyway? They cover all these questions and more in this week’s episode of TheBurg Podcast.
Update: Since this podcast was recorded, we learned that Karl Singleton, the mayoral advisor who Lizzy mentions at the end of the podcast, is no longer employed with the city. Read our coverage here.
