Event: Northeast Sustainable Communities Workshop
When: April 15, 2015
Where: Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House
One Bowling Green
New York, NY
The Northeast Sustainable Communities Workshop (NSCW), now in its 6th year, has sold out all previous years in Newark, NJ, Bridgeport, CT, Jersey City, NJ and New York City. Started by a varied regional group of environmental professionals, its vision is a lively, intense exchange of ideas regarding sustainability and brownfields. NSCW always attempts to break new ground, offer new ideas and posit new concepts on the topics of sustainability, collaboration and leverage, contamination, resiliency, brownfields, technology and their impact on community revitalization. In 2015, NSCW includes "Impact" right in the name of this conference.
As always, those in the center of these policy decisions are invited to speak in panel format without PowerPoint so there is plenty of time for challenges and questions from all workshop participants. Everyone who attends NSCW Impact is an active participant in shaping the ideas, projects and policies that will guide the revitalization and redevelopment of our region - CT, NY, NJ, and PA - for years to come. The impact of the day is to have everyone leave more knowledgeable, more committed, and more inspired to influence the changes necessary in our professional and personal lives to create a more enduring and resilient life working with, and not against, nature.
