  • Sci-Fi Supermarket: High-Tech Innovations Coming to the Grocery Store
    2 AAgendagenda 12:00 noon -- Lunch 1:00 p.m. -- Panel Discussion on Commercial Real Estate Trends 3:00 p.m. -- Break 3:15 p.m. -- Discussion of Characteristics of Mixed Use Development 5:00 p.m. -- Adjourn (Times are approximate) 3 “Why do we have so many banks?” “Is ‘mixed-use’ just the latest development buzzword?” At the sixth annual joint retreat with the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Com- mission, we will explore these and other development trends that are affecting Plano. As with housing, Plano’s opportunities for commercial development and redevelop- ment are impacted by many different fi nancial, market and demographic forces. In many cases today, developers wish to also combine retail, offi ce and hotel uses with high density housing in mixed-use projects, a development pattern that does not fi t neatly with Plano’s traditional land use policies and suburban development pattern. These development trends provide much food for thought, so the retreat will concen- trate solely on two agenda items this year. First, a panel of local real estate experts will address the trends affecting commercial real estate and their impact on Plano. The second topic will be an interactive discussion on the characteristics of mixed-use development and its role in Plano’s development landscape. Plano’s ability to provide convenient shopping, retain its status as a regional employ- ment center and respond to opportunities for new forms and types of development will greatly infl uence the city’s future. As in past years, the retreat will provide an oppor- tunity to step back and explore trends and issues from a broader context and to focus on their effects on the city.

    Boulder County companies helping reshape the food economy dailycamera.com /boulder-business/ci_31408678/dishing-it-out-and-taking-it-boulder-county Online groceries, delivered meals, delivered chefs radically changing how we feed ourselves By Shay Castle Staff Writer Posted: 10/28/2017 09:30:05 AM MDT | Updated: about 9 hours ago 1/2 Bruce Jacoby is loading up a truck for food delivery at Door to Door Organics. Door to Door Organics, in Lafayette, is one way people are getting their food, from to-go at restaurants to meal kit and grocery delivery, and how Amazon is accelerating that change. Cliff Grassmick Staff Photographer ... 1/7 Photos: Door to Door Organics in Lafayette ‹› Three times a week, Joan Lieberman gets meals delivered by Boulder's Dish Gourmet, a deli, sandwich shop and caterer. She never knows what the food will be: She gives Dish's chef/owner Brian Benham complete culinary control. His instructions are simple: Craft three nutritious, delicious meals for her family per week. No menu required. He even has a key to her house, so he can slip the food in the fridge — in containers she provides —and be on his way, with no disruption to Lieberman's life. The arrangement is a unique one for Dish. "I don't know that I would do it for anyone else," Benham said. Lieberman's order is driven by more than simple convenience: In her late 70s, she recently surrendered her car keys due to slowing reflexes. Lucy Arredondo makes Italian sandwiches at Dish Gourmet on Tuesday.
