A conversation with Chris Jackson, neighborhood planner for the City of Amarillo. An Amarillo native who grew up in the foster care system, Jackson now works within the city's Neighborhood Planning Initiative to help older and underserved parts of town "catch up" in terms of infrastructure and services. These neighborhoods include the North Heights, the Barrio, San Jacinto and Eastridge. Jackson works directly with neighborhood resident associations guiding them to implement a variety of projects. He shares with host Jason Boyett about his background, the complicated nature of projects like the recent creative crosswalks, and why the city is working so hard to revitalize these neighborhoods in the first place. This episode is supported by SKP Creative, Storybridge and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.
