You can find more information by searching NPS RTCA and attached is a link to a summary of reviews they did recently on towns downstream of us.

>> I am overstating the matter, but it’s almost like Marietta is holding a Sustainability Forum for us!
>> 
>> On December 12, from 6-8 p.m., in the cafeteria of the WCC campus on Colegate Avenue: Reimagine Marietta will kick off with a public meeting to start a new comprehensive plan!  I plan to attend if I can. (I am so busy and stressed right now…. Don’t know how I’m going to get my work work done, let alone holiday shopping. And then there’s the completely plugged drain beneath the concrete slab in my basement that Tim and I tackled last night, but we’re going to make sure it’s clear and very open later this evening. Ugh. Ew.).  Please visit reimaginemarietta.com. 
>> 
>> If we have a vocal contingent calling for sustainability and resilience, plans for alternative transportation, EV charging stations, bike lanes, community solar power, cooperatives…. I mean, at least in theory, we green visionaries can shape the future of our community!!  What an opportunity!!!
>> 
>> I hope to see you at the meeting (and the day before at FUUSM).
