About the event
Spend an evening with the League of Women Voters Lynchburg to learn about flooding, heat island effect, and water-quality risks in the City of Lynchburg as well as how they will disproportionately impact our low-income neighborhoods of color---and what we can do about it!
A collaborative stakeholder team that includes the City of Lynchburg, University of Lynchburg, Randolph College, Jubilee Center, Leslie King Consulting and Resilient Virginia, has received an EPA Environmental Justice Grant. Representatives from the project team will share with us the details of the project, their learnings so far, and how citizens can support the development of a local resiliency plan.
If you care about environmental sustainability and wish we had more opportunities to get involved locally, this is a must-attend event!
Parking is free, and the meeting room is wheelchair accessible.
