[Winona Online Democracy] "How can communities and elected bodies move from antiquated planning mindsets and old engineering standards towards models and standards that reflect modern research and best practices?" I'm so glad Dwayne asked.
One answer: Contact Steve Apfelbaum, president of Applied Ecological Services (AES) - an ecological engineering and design firm with offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota - and have him do a one-hour presentation to the County Board (and anyone else who would like to attend) on alternative stormwater management, ecological-based engineering, river and stream protection, prairie restoration, rain gardens, and more. Check out their web site - http://www.appliedeco.com/ . AES is not the only firm doing this kind of work, but they are among the best - we've worked with them on many projects.
