Protecting the Ozark Aquifer: Why safeguarding our local resources requires proactive community action. Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs): Establishing legally binding, transparent standards to protect local ratepayers, ensure environmental mitigation, and maintain civic oversight. Eco-Industrial Vision: Moving toward smaller distributed developments, 100% clean energy mandates, and sustainable eco-industrial park models for our region's future.
