The Island Green Building Association (IGBA) will have its monthly meeting from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 17, at The Marketplace on St. John, 2nd floor. There will be a social at 5 p.m. before the meeting. Joe Mina, P.E., storm water engineer, will share his expertise in managing one of St. John’s most critical environmental issues: controlling erosion of the land—to keep the bays and reefs from turning brown.
Whether building a new home or improving existing property, Mina will suggest proven and affordable ways residents can keep the soil from running away with the rain. He will engage the community and professionals in active discussion about proper site planning, actual land capacity, sewer and water planning, zoning issues and resource conservation planning. Come for free expertise on how to keep the soil where it belongs: on land. The public is welcome to attend this free seminar. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. For more information, call 227-1110.
