The College of Community & Public Affairs at Binghamton University
Fall 2013 Seminar Series
Local Government Strategies for Economic and Environmental Sustainability – George Homsy, PhD
Friday, November 8, 2013 – 9:00am – 12:00pm
Sustainability is not just about environmental protection. Sustainable communities are also economically efficient; these places have lower costs of government operations, improved quality of life and lower energy costs for residents, and an enhanced reputation. The goal of this workshop is to help local leaders develop a sustainability agenda that fits their particular economic and environmental circumstances. To do this we will delve into sustainability strategies used by small- to medium-sized local governments in New York State and around the nation. We will structure discussions around the specific needs of the participants. We will work together to outline components of a sustainability plan that participants can take back to their communities for further refinement. Finally, we will discuss the politics of sustainability, communicating plan goals to others, and implementation.
Registration Deadline is Tuesday, November 5.
