Growth is coming, but how do we grow without losing our roots?In this episode, we sit down with District 3 Lewis County Commissioner Scott Brummer to explore the evolving role of county government at a pivotal moment for our community. As population increases and development pressures mount, we discuss how local leaders are working to preserve agricultural lands, protect rural character, and maintain the small-town values that define us. We also tackle the complex relationship between state and local government, examining how state policies can shape—or limit—local autonomy and decision-making. This is a candid, insightful conversation about leadership, stewardship, and the future of our county.🎙️ *About the Podcast:*Ever wonder what’s actually happening behind the scenes in Lewis County?
