Takoma Park is building the new local economy right now. A panel discussion and more than 20 community residents met on December 5th to discuss current projects and ideas for new projects that create an inclusive local economy. This event parallels a joint effort of CHEER and IMPACT Silver Spring to build local economy in Long Branch.
