EVENTS


Interdisciplinary Urban Design for a Resilient Future

FIBER received a $25,000 grant from Duke Energy through its foundation to create powerful communities through our Interdisciplinary Urban Design for a Resilient Future initiative that provides small rural Florida communities impacted by Helene and Milton with knowledge, design ideas, and guidance on potential grant opportunities to address local environmental challenges and develop climate-resilient strategies. Participation is limited to up to 8 mayors. The program includes two-day workshop in Gainesville on May 22-23 on-site assessment and consultation in your community in January/February, support exploring external funding opportunities. If you are small Florida community and is served by Duke Energy, this could be a transformative opportunity.
