2017 Legislative Recap: The View from the Hill

Each year, state legislators take up important environmental topics ranging from smart growth to ecosystem conservation. The 2017 session was no different, and many environmental groups and advocates were working hard at the Capitol for better transit options, conservation funding, renewable energy generation and much more. Join us to hear advocates review the session and discuss what was and wasn’t passed, the potential consequences and what to expect in the coming years.
