On Thursday, September 18th 2008 Urban Land Institute will be conducting a Panel Discussion on Sustainability and the Wine Country. The event will take place in the beautiful wine country at Wiens Family Cellars immediately following the Economic Development Conference at Pechanga Resort. We have put an exciting panel of sustainability and green building experts along with major stakeholders in the Southern California Wine Country. The Panel includes County of Riverside Planning Commissioner John Petty, developer Denis Ferguson, WLC Architects George Wiens, AIA, Nick Palumbo, viticulturist, enologist owner of Palumbo Family Vineyards and Dr. Peter Sherman from the University of Redlands. David Neault ASLA of David Neault Associates, Inc. will be the moderator.
Join your colleagues for an in-depth panel discussion on how to utilize cost-effective sustainable development and Best Practices to create successful master-planned communities, resorts and Wineries in the fast-growing Southern California Wine Country. At this program you'll learn how public and private enterprises are tackling the questions of sustainability that include green practices, economic viability and place making in one of the most environmentally sensitive regions of Southern California.
A panel of leading-edge professionals from government, education, viticulture, development and architecture will discuss these topics and more. Bring your thoughts and questions to create a lively round table discussion about the future of this important region.
The program will begin at 3:30 and will be followed by a networking reception and appetizers. You may also enjoy a complimentary wine tasting sponsored by Wiens Family Cellars.
