Neininger will share insight so community advocates, local leaders and planners can get clarity and confidence in navigating renewable energy projects related to project timelines, land use and zoning, the purpose of the planning process and how to evaluate project locations.
She is a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with an AS degree in business administration and management and the University of Oklahoma’s Economic Development Institute.
“This webinar launches a series of upcoming hour long sessions that will inform community stakeholders of the importance of infrastructure needs within its economic development equation,” said C4EE Executive Director Mozine Lowe. “Please join us in this discussion to enable sustainable, long-term economic growth initiatives for rural residents and businesses.”
