LANSING ? The Green Infrastructure Conference, hosted by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, is taking registration for the event, scheduled for May 8-9 in Lansing.
This conference includes several panels and keynote speakers that will be discussing what is being done at the federal and state levels to advance Green Infrastructure (GI) including new technologies and best practices. Items of interest include sessions on GI codes and ordinances impacting industry/municipalities, funding, cost/benefits, and government/industry partnerships and best practices.
This conference is being held in partnership with NCMS, Ford Motor Company, Michigan State University, Lawrence Tech and other environmentally-conscience Michigan entities.
This conference is a natural outgrowth of the Governor?s 2012 Special Message on Energy and the Environment. The Governor identified green infrastructure (GI) as a way to improve water quality in Michigan and create recreational space at the same time. The conference expands on this theme to highlight a broad range of benefits and opportunities provided by green infrastructure planning and preservation at local and regional scales. ?How-to? presentations and case studies will be highlighted.
This conference is approved for up to 10 CEHs for Professional Engineers.
