Northeast-Midwest Institute

The summit in Buffalo, NY is designed for urban advocates, non-governmental organizations, local, state and federal officials, and other stakeholders from Great Lakes metro communities seeking to use the stimulus bill and other federal support to promote sustainable and equitable cities.

Topics include the expansion of weatherization and green jobs, models for regional governance, innovative uses of NSP funds, and Great Lakes restoration.  Attendees will gain a birds-eye-view of trends in their field, learn best practice strategies for ensuring maximum impact for older industrial cities, and explore opportunities to influence the direction of future federal support.

Registration is now open, and costs only $25.  Click here for more online information, or email the Great Lakes Urban Exchange.
