Tuesday, November 11, 7:30 - 9:00 am
How do we develop a resilient St. Louis community in the face of a changing environment? Whether it's flood-plain development, a changing insurance landscape, or uncertain government regulation, part of the answer will be how we approach the relationship between water and our built environment. Panelists from diverse perspectives will discuss the current status and future implications of these topics.
Co-sponsored by the American Planning Association - Missouri Chapter, USGBC-Missouri Gateway Chapter, and the Urban Land Institute - St. Louis

Extending to October 2016 gives LEED users and members of the green building industry additional time to prepare for LEED v4, the latest version of LEED, which features increased rigor and multiple updates.
