In her oral history interview conducted on July 23, 2024, Karen Norback described her work as a “political hobbyist" and spoke about her involvement in the creation of a city-owned farm on the Thomas Open Space. This oral history sheds light on residents' impact on a variety of aspects of Lafayette's growth and development over the years. This included the Managed Growth Charter Amendment and support to preserve wildlife habitat, agricultural lands, community buffers, and natural areas for residents’ enjoyment. Also mentioned were other instances when community members came together to preserve Lafayette’s small-town charm.
This is part one of a two-part video. The second part can be found under "Oral History with Karen Norback Part II."
