Our next event focuses on the complex world of environmental legislation.
Why hasn’t the state legislature passed a conservation design bill that would require developers to protect wildlife and fragile ecosystems when planning big projects? Will there be a constitutional amendment to save a historic lodge in the Adirondacks? Or another to repurpose a former prison?
Just how does environmental legislation prevail – or not – in Albany? We’ll ask the people closest to the work.
Join the Adirondack Explorer, with the Times Union of Albany, for a panel discussion featuring:
