Rutland CE to present at SolarFest
"As Rutland City seeks to reinvent itself, it is finding strength in its connections. Connections to surrounding farm lands, connections between people within the community, and connection to statewide efforts and trends. In this workshop, the presenters will share some of what's happening - and seek input from the audience about how a small city in a rural state can build toward a sustainable future. Presenters: Mark Foley, Jr., Tara Kelly, Jim Sabataso, and Mike Coppinger."
