I HEART CDA: History & Legacy

As our region continues to grow and change, we find ourselves reflecting on who we are, and more importantly, who we want to become. Growth invites important questions: Where did we come from as a city? How do we navigate inevitable growing pains while preserving our cultural identity? And how do we foster a shared sense of pride and ownership in the place we all call home? 

Join us at the historic Roosevelt for an intimate gathering that brings these conversations to life. Enjoy thoughtfully catered fare from local organizations and engaging, artful talks from civic leaders, historians, nonprofit partners preserving our historic spaces, and community voices shaping our future. Together, we’ll explore how local organizations, housing initiatives, environmental stewardship, and the arts can guide responsible growth—while supporting our mission to expand affordable housing options throughout the region.
