Talk by History Associates Board Member Sheila Lodge on the “History of Planning in Santa Barbara”

In this talk, Sheila Lodge will show how Santa Barbara became the community that it is through planning. She will describe the many battles it sometimes took and the process that was developed to make the critical decisions. Because of her personal involvement in the struggles, her talk is partially a memoir.

Sheila Lodge is a former Santa Barbara mayor and is currently a board member for the History Associates. This talk is co-sponsored by the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation.
