The Buzzards Bay Coalition invites you to a free Decision Makers Workshop

In this workshop we will be hearing from experts on green infrastructure
and low impact development projects for reducing stormwater and improving
water quality. We'll also hear from the Commonwealth's Director of
Sustainable Development on a new model by-law for open space residential
development (aka cluster development).
