Lansing Economic Club

Description

This spring's severe weather events caused widespread flooding, damaged infrastructure, disrupted transportation networks, and imposed significant costs on communities across Michigan. As local governments, businesses, property owners, and residents continue to address the impacts, important questions remain about how Michigan plans, funds, and manages the infrastructure needed to reduce future risks.

Join Stacy Hissong, Member at Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes, and Steve Roznowski, P.E., President and CEO of Spicer Group, for a discussion on the legal, engineering, and economic challenges facing Michigan's water infrastructure. The program will examine the lessons learned from recent storm events, the role of dams and drainage systems in protecting communities, and the investments and partnerships needed to support public safety, recreation, economic growth, tourism, and long-term regional resilience.
