A large group needs to keep lines of communication open. So, members of Newton County's Leadership Collaborative, a group of officials from business, schools and various government entities, agreed Wednesday that they want to have more meetings as a group and to keep in closer touch through e-mail. The collaborative is responsible for developing the 2050 Build Out Plan, which seeks to corral growth into an already dense corridor that runs east-west through the heart of the county, while protecting large agricultural and conservation zones.
