Green Pathways to Prosperity

Posted by Kayla on Saturday, April 10, 2010

treesOn Friday, May 21st, the Regional Green Economy Task Force will host the Green Pathways to Prosperity Summit in Pittsburgh.

This summit will bring together government officials, clergy, organizational leaders, business leaders and community advocates who represent traditionally disadvantaged constituencies for a day of discussion on how Pittsburgh can attain the goal of a socially just, economically prosperous and environmentally sustainable future.  Key topics of the summit will include climate change, environmental justice, emerging industries, and public policy.

The goals of the Green Pathways to Prosperity summit are to both contribute to a more informed group of community leaders, and to also inspire collaboration between those in attendance.  For more information on this summit, contact Khari Mosley at k.mosley@gtechstrategies.org.

  1. Several years ago, I attended some meetings like this in Boulder. We were able to make great progress setting goals and targets for the various agencies and community groups to meet. One thing that helped — the city council only allows building permits for structures that are two stories high. This prevents huge buildings downtown and blocking everyone’s view. We also worked on getting commitments from various businesses to meet with the traditionally disadvantaged constituents around their business and talk to them just to build the relationship. It was a good idea and worked pretty well.

  • What's wrong with you? Send the tax bills out at the current milege amd worry abiut refunds later? Do you know a hardship this will cause for a lot of people. Get the assessments right first and then worry about the tax bills. My assessment tripled with my land assessment raised 1000%. That's right 1000%. One of my neighbor's assessment quadrupled. You come and look at my property and tell me why it's worth so much. Plus, I have to carry mine subsidance insurance because I'm sitting on a coal seam that could colapse at any time. I live across the street from a rental priperty that's a slum and another house has bars on tje windows because they were robbed. My assessment has so many incirrect things on it. Who did these anyway? Some guy sitting in an office somewhere who arbitrarily decided what is and is not. This says my house was remodeled in 1991. Everything in the house is the same as when it was vuilt except for normal updates luke water heater, furnace, etc unless you consider wimdows remodeling. They aren't even worth it becausei can feel the cold air coming in. I hope you get voted out of office. You certainly are NOT for the people.

  • Very inovative, and to comment by Eric S., this is bringing attention to your area from all around the country. It shares all that Pittsburgh has to offer and I am certain people who do not win will consider Pittsburgh favorably. I have considered Pittsburgh as a viable option, with the additional information I am learning it continues to rais on my list of where to move to.

  • Should we really be bribing people to move to Pittsburgh? How about spending $100,000 to develop an advertising campaign for the region instead and attract more than one new person?

  • I am soooo glad someone has paid attention to those of us between 45 and death! We still have so much to offer the world and a true desire to do so. We are still dreaming and planning and doing and living. Thank you for recognizing a valuable asset to community planning---the older, experienced person. I am so sick of hearing you're 'overqualified' and expected to be put out to pasture (or as a babysitter). I'm only 53 and I have a lot of dreams l have left to seek. I definitely will be applying!
