Companies from New Orleans to Baton Rouge are coming together on February 8th to share their best ideas on how to address critical watershed challenges in the region.

Join with other southern Louisiana business leaders for the Kickoff Meeting of the Louisiana Water Synergy Project. This structured forum provides an opportunity for you to work with other watershed users to identify water quality, quantity, and storm water management issues in the New Orleans to Baton Rouge Mississippi River Corridor, find solutions that work, and get them implemented. Find out what is new about this project, and how participation can provide direct benefits to your company and to the communities where you operate. Key elements include:

• Cross-industry collaboration, where minimal time investment yields high value returns
• Industry connection to public initiatives, creating a voice for industry
• Innovative financing for water system energy efficiency retrofits

Preliminary Agenda

This is a project where participants set the agenda, because few people know the watershed issues facing Southern Louisiana better than you do.

In the morning, starting at 9:30, you will participate in an interactive session to collectively identify watershed concerns and challenges in a facilitated but open discussion with other project participants. These are issues that everyone deals with, including water sources, use and disposition, regulations and other limitations.

After lunch, we’ll reconvene to discuss how the project will work and answer your questions. We will also provide details about how you can access private financing through a comprehensive PACE program to pay for energy efficiency retrofits to your water systems. The meeting will adjourn at 2:00pm.
