Speaker Baye Adofo-Wilson joins USGBC-STL and St. Louis Community College for a free program on the creation of a sustainable, diverse community called the Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District. This eco-village has revitalized a once abandoned, crumbling neighborhood in Newark, NJ which now boasts a workforce training program with an 80% placement rate and an annual music festival drawing thousands of people to the community.
Highlights of the development include
● LEED® Certified Affordable Housing
