Big news from Illinois and Connecticut. Illinois' Governor Quinn announced $5 million in investments to 13 communities for green infrastructure improvement projects. And Connecticut's Governor Malloy has provided a $1 million grant to fund an urban agriculture center which will produce 800,000 tons of free produce and provide 40 green collar jobs.
-I forgot to mention Yale's free green infrastructure seminar this past Monday (whoops!), but there is still time to check out part two next week. The topic of discussion is green infrastructure tools in the nation's capital, which segue's nicely into Baltimore's new, 64 page urban agriculture plan.
-So, back to the webinar which slipped my memory. I almost to forgot to post a second one!!! There's a fantastic one happening today! The topic is permaculture and how to train a core of employees, create a lasting legacy for your children (and grandchildren) through farming and market to a diverse audience.
