We are inviting local elected officials, zoning committee members, municipal and county staff, and other local leaders outside of government to have a guided conversation on what you view as the largest needs surrounding education and resources for renewable energy planning, including the siting process.
Andrea Wagner, Extension’s new, statewide energy specialist, will be leading the discussion. She is interested in learning about your local energy issues, your experiences with renewable energy development in the region, and what educational opportunities you may be interested in. Along with dual degrees in Community and Regional Planning and Sustainable Agriculture, she brings experience as a county planner to the energy conversation.
We want to hear what concerns and issues you’ve encountered, as well as what you may be curious to learn more about so that communities can make informed decisions about renewable energy. Your input is extremely valuable in helping us develop the best possible educational programs, which will be offered statewide.
