Community leaders are now realizing that they need to increase their capacity to remain economically sustainable with an intact natural environment to support commerce, tourism, and community prosperity before future weather disasters strike. The Finger Lakes Institute is hosting two speakers familiar with the realities of facing weather disasters and fostering community recovery. Eric Ameigh, Project Coordinator for the City of Boulder, Colorado will share insights about torrential flooding in their small, tourism-based college city, following historic rain storms in the Rocky Mountains in September 2013. Eric is the former Director of Neighborhood Initiatives for the City of Geneva, NY. Steve Griffin, CEO of the Finger Lakes Economic Development Center in Penn Yan, NY will present the issues they faced in the wake of the May 2014 major village flooding and steps to help with the rebuilding and recovery. Both speakers will convey the lessons their communities learned and tips for Finger Lakes communities to be better prepared to face forthcoming weather catastrophes. This speaking event is free and open to the public. Community members are encouraged to carpool if necessary, and park in the Medbury Lot at the main entrance to Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The Library is a very short walk to the south, across Pulteney Street from the new building construction site. <https://files.ctctcdn.com/d7a24335101/11ae5dcf-3c3f-4504-a360-dca356ac6267.jpg> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> Coming up...
