City Manager Martorello recently sat down with Jonathan Mason on the Jentry Podcast. In this episode, Vincent Martorello shares how the city is thinking about housing, jobs, wastewater infrastructure, downtown activity, and long-term economic development. He also explains why small cities face unique tradeoffs when trying to attract growth while managing costs, regulations, and community expectations. This conversation is a grounded look at what guided growth really means in a small city.
