Lunch Program: Using WEDG® to Your Advantage—Advocates, Design Teams, Agencies

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

How you use WEDG® (Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines) depends on your relationship to a waterfront project. WEDG is a tool to help create resilient, ecological, and accessible waterfronts across communities. Community-based or environmental advocates can use WEDG to push public and private developers to create better outcomes, ensure accountability toward community goals, and build capacity around waterfront issues. Design teams can quantify project goals and advocate to their clients. Local and state agency leaders and staff can create structures to ensure that communities benefit from waterfront projects.

This working lunch opens with a short presentation on utilizing WEDG from different perspectives, followed by small-group discussion on best practices and strategies.

Note: Please get your lunch on the main buffet in the 2nd floor foyer and then come to the room.

This program is open to all.
