Sustainability and the Obama Stimulus Agenda: Engaging and Connecting with the Government
( More about event)
Issues of sustainability and the environment are being recognized and addressed globally and nationally – but, state and local actions will more than likely provide many of the solutions to these problems.
Green jobs are a key focus of President Obama's stimulus package, and it is expected that approximately 2.5 million green jobs will be created over the next 2 years.
In New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania governors and mayors are earnestly implementing sustainability projects. In our opening keynote address, former New Jersey Governor James J. Florio will discuss how state and local governments can connect to the Obama agenda and achieve the national goals in our region.
