Issue No. 12 of In Office Released!
Issue No. 12 of LaBella’s municipal digest, In Office, is now available!
In this issue, we explore how municipalities can strengthen three essential pillars of community well-being—health, home, and happiness. From drinking water safety and housing access to inclusive and climate-adaptive public spaces, this edition offers actionable strategies to reinforce these foundational pillars and build a more resilient future.
We track changes to proposed PFAS monitoring rules and share key deadlines for the US EPA’s Brownfields grants—critical tools for addressing environmental health risks. With stable housing in short supply, we examine how municipalities can expand access by conducting housing assessments and modernizing regulatory frameworks. We also highlight nature-based design, small-sided sports, and playground innovations that invite connection, play, and belonging in public spaces.
