Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Advocates calling for a state energy plan in Maryland

From a chain of emails:

Get Smart about your Energy Costs - Community Forum

Where: Prince George's Community College, Rennie Forum
301 Largo Road, Largo Maryland, 20774
When: Tuesday, February 23rd, 6:30 to 8:00PM

Come to the Smart Energy Now community forum at Prince George's Community College on Tuesday, February 23rd to get smarter about energy.

This forum will raise awareness about the need for a comprehensive energy plan for the State of Maryland, and feature expert speakers who will discuss cost-saving, smart energy measures that Marylanders can make at home, and smart choices the government can make to achieve a clean, affordable and reliable energy future for Maryland.

Invited Guest Speakers include Maryland General Assembly Delegates Dereck Davis, Aisha Braveboy, Melony Griffith, Michael Vaughn, and State Senator Ulysses Currie.

In this economy we all need to get smart about energy. Unfortunately not all of us are experts on how to save on our business and home energy costs, and despite forward thinking clean energy policies, even the Maryland Government lacks a comprehensive plan for getting the state on track towards a clean reliable and affordable energy future.

Town Hall sponsors include the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN), Prince George's Green Power Coalition, the Maryland Sierra Club, Environment Maryland, the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, the South County Economic Development Association, the League of Women Voters of Maryland, Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance, local churches and businesses and the League of Women Voters of Prince George's County.

PLEASE RSVP online
