Resilience Conference Postponed to April 10
The Blue Ridge Conference on Resilience scheduled for January 30 was postponed because of inclement weather. The new date for the conference, hosted by MountainKeepers, is Saturday, April 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The conference will take place at the Watauga High School cafeteria.
The conference, first held in 2009, asks attendees, “How can we create a more resilient community?” Last year’s meeting sparked discussions and ideas about green building, affordable housing, environmentally responsible job creation, locally produced energy, emergency responses, healthy water systems and alternative transportation, among other topics.
