SUMMARY:Webinar: The Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth & Community Benefit Act: Implications for Local Planners
DESCRIPTION:May 12\, 2020\n12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. \nThe newly enacted Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth & Community Benefit Act has received significant publicity for its reworking of the state-level review of large scale renewables by creating new Executive Law Section 94-C.  But the law also created new authority within NYSERDA for developing projects and revamped the process for transmission projects under Public Service Law Article VII.  It also initiated the first formal Public Service Commission proceeding addressing community benefits\, which may influence community benefit agreements on many types of projects.  We will examine the new law\, how the new regulatory environment may unfold\, and review potential impacts on local planning activities. \nCertificates of attendance will be issued to attendees to satisfy the training requirements for NYS planning and zoning board members. \nSpeakers: \nDaniel Spitzer\, Esq.\, Hodgson Russ LLP\nDan’s practice focuses on a wide variety of issues involving environmental law\, renewable energy\, sustainable development\, land use law\, municipal law\, and real estate development. In the renewable energy arena he represents municipalities\, developers\, land owners\, and financing entities\, from project inception through successful litigation\, including some of the largest wind farms in the eastern United States\, multiple utility and small-scale solar projects and landfill gas-to-energy\, geothermal\, biomass\, storage\, transmission\, and energy efficiency projects. He has guided many projects through the State Environmental Quality Review Act process and drafted numerous local zoning laws. He is a frequent speaker and writer on land use topics including as author of the initial draft of the Chapters on Annexation and Sustainable Design and Green Buildings in New York Zoning Law and Practice\, 4th\, edition. \nSarah Main\, Esq.\, Hodgson Russ LLP\nSarah concentrates her practice in energy and environmental law. She provides legal advice and guidance on energy-related transactions and regulatory compliance pertaining to solar\, energy storage\, land-based and offshore wind\, geothermal and electric vehicle infrastructure projects. She has experience advising on zoning and local land use requirements. Prior to joining Hodgson Russ\, Sarah was counsel for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) where she handled legal matters regarding a broad portfolio of distributed energy resource programs. \nRegister Now!

In light of NY PAUSE and the restrictions imposed in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19\, CDRPC has cancelled our Spring Workshop\, an event that provided a full-day’s credits to board members. We recognize that Municipalities still need training outlets and have organized an ongoing and ongoing webinar series for participant to obtain credits. Municipalities have a wide latitude in defining what training is acceptable for credit. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE APRIL 30TH WEBINAR\nFor the Thursday\, April 30\, 2020\, our Webinar topic will be COVID-19 impacts on transportation and migration patterns. \nPresenting will be planners at Barton & Loguidice and Jennifer Ceponis\, Senior Transportation Planner for the Capital District Regional Transportation Committee. \nIn the first part of this two-part webinar\, Barton & Loguidice will share potential population shift impacts of post- Covid-19 mass migration and what these shifts might mean for Upstate using post-911 population data as a benchmark. \nJennifer Ceponis will share the The Capital District Transportation Committee’s  Draft New Visions 2050 Plan. This plan\, released in March\, 2020\,  outlines policy and investment principles for investing in transportation infrastructure in the Capital Region to develop a sustainable 21st century transportation system. How does the region implement New Visions 2050 in a post-pandemic world? How can New Visions guide the reimagining of Capital Region communities and how we move around them? \nAfter this webinar\, and each webinar in the series\, each attendee will receive an email confirming attendance.
