The ad-hoc group Women for Wise Growth will hold a second free public forum this evening from 7-9 pm in the Durham County Library downtown. The focus of tonight's session is a discussion of the relationship between our region's water supplies and our continued pace of growth.
On the docket this evening: Elaine Chiosso, executive director of the Haw River Assembly and a gubernatorial appointee to the state's Sedimentation Control Committee. WWG notes that Chiosso is expected to focus on issues like mass grading and soil erosion, and the impact of same on water quality.
Also up: Orange County Commission chair Barry Jacobs, who'll cover subjects including open space preservation, land-use planning, and protecting the region's watershed.
If the WWG's excellent first forum is any indicator (see the wrap-ups from BCR or Dependable Erection, or listen to the podcast), expect a range of interesting questions from interested citizens. Also, if you're looking to buttonhole any local politicians, this should be the place, if the loaded turnout at the last event is any indication.
