What an amazing day, where so much came together for the Lower 9th Ward! Leaders of Historic Green brought together Rick Fedrizzi, Bob Berkebile, USGBC staff, Charles Allen III, Pam Dashiell, leaders of Make It Right, John Williams, and many others for an hour-long meeting. Conversation flowed comfortably from pressing needs expressed by the Neighborhood Association, to experienced recommendations for how to best serve the economy, to lessons learned from on-the-ground construction services and recommendations of specific project types which build on the core competencies of the volunteers and Advisors.
What emerged was a concensus for a powerfully focused plan, which will maximize volunteered labor and expertise for lasting effect.
