Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and Purdue Extension have developed County Planning Dashboards to help community leaders and residents better understand their natural resources at the county level, where many land-use decisions are made. These models are based on the work of several collaborators as part of the Tipping Point Planner decision support system. Dashboard profiles are available for all counties within Great Lakes states.

Lydia Utley, Kara Salazar and Dan Walker will walk participants through the new dashboards and discuss how Tipping Point Planner can support planning efforts and decision-making in your local community.

When: December 19, 2019, Noon – 1pm ET

Where: This program will be streamed live and can be viewed from multiple host sites across Indiana, or you can watch it from your personal computer. Register to receive the link.

Who: All individuals involved in local government planning (planning department staff, county commissioners, city council members and plan commission and Board of Zoning Appeals members)

REGISTER NOW

For questions or if you need an accommodation to participate in this program, prior to the event, please contact your host site or email Tamara Ogle at togle@purdue.edu.

This February marks a major milestone: 30 years of aquatic invasive species outreach by our team! To celebrate, IISG Director, Stuart Carlton, and Strategic Communication Coordinator, Renie Miles, sat down for a Sea Grant Chat with two key figures in IISG’s AIS history: Pat Charlebois, our assistant director and program leader, who spent over two decades leading our prevention efforts, and Katie O’Reilly, who took over that role in 2022. We discussed the evolution of the invasive species issue in the Great Lakes, the shift toward understanding human behavior, and the creative strategies that make this team so effective.
