Event promotion and management services industry to provide a variety of services, but these services are the same systemic risk, the economic situation in Australia. IBISWorld estimates that the industry's revenue declined, earnings by event management, tourism promotion and ticketing agent, through the 2012-13 five years. For these reasons, the industry research firm IBISWorld has updated its report on the event promotion and management services industry in Australia.
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) 2012 11 20,
Event promotion and management services industry to provide a variety of services, but these services are the same systemic risk, the economic situation in Australia. IBISWorld estimates that industry revenue, which consists of event management, tourism promotion, and ticket agents earnings declined by 5.4% in the year-on-year, by five years in 2012-13. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Lee EE benevolence, the largest decline of industry revenue is recorded in 2008-09, in line with the global economic downturn. " Products as an important part of the industry depends on the willingness of individual consumption discretionary products, industry revenue is sensitive to changes in real household disposable income and household savings rate. For these reasons, IBISWorld estimates revenue of the industry for the fourth consecutive year decline in revenue this year is expected to decline 2.6% to $ 3.69 billion.
Weak operating conditions, the new entrants have found a niche opportunity, especially in the Ticketing segment. Capital strong supporter of funding, the downstream market welcomed, especially these alternatives in the market has long been dominated by two ticketing agents. Event management segment to continue to reside in the small owners and operators. In fact, the number of owners and operators is estimated to rise in the past five years. "By 2017-18, the industry is expected to grow more than five years," Lee said. Optimistic economic outlook will translate into higher business confidence and consumer confidence, more generous spending of non-essential consumer goods, such as commercial activities and live performances. However, the industry's largest players - especially the increasingly fierce competition enterprise provides ticketing support - between, may inhibit the growth of income. In addition, due to the rise of China to replace Australia to become the region's premier exhibition and conference venue, Australian enterprises will seek new growth opportunities in overseas markets. In contrast, Australia's appetite for live performances also made an attractive destination for foreign companies to expand their presence. Therefore, the growth of industry globalization and international trade.
Low market concentration in Australia in the event promotion and management services industry. Provide a broad range of services as enterprises within the industry, large companies dominated sector. Although there are many well-known within the industry companies such as Qantas ticket (Nine Entertainment Co., Ltd.) and Ticketmaster, the diversity of the industry means that any one company to control most of the market share. In addition, low barriers to entry into the event management refers to many owners and operators in the market. This is because of the need to establish an event management company, low capital investment, with the main input of human capital services.

New York State University Institute for fracking close support of the industry
State University of New York at Buffalo, is shutting down after a research institution opened seven months ago, the study of natural gas fracking potential conflicts of interest to the dean of the college was known as the "cloud" of uncertainty in its work.
Shale resources and the Institute for Social Research Close take effect immediately, university presidents Patty said in a statement today. Public accountability initiatives, the Buffalo nonprofit organizations, it focuses on corporate and government corruption, said, INSITUTE only April report in error, does not recognize the "extensive ties" of the natural gas industry.
Report results may conflict between the independent sources of research funding and expectations - both actual and imagined - Tripathi said, "in an open letter to the university community. "This, in turn, affect the appearance Institute research independence and integrity."
Prior to this, last month decided to cancel the natural gas industry group Pennsylvania State University damn, some teachers do not want to bias the projects of the industry, the project has attracted criticism. Drilling Company, in criticism, production damn gas damage to the environment, funding university research sometimes reach the conclusion, to counter the attention of critics, Bloomberg News reported in July.
Fracking, millions of gallons of chemically treated water and sand are forced underground to break the shale and free trapped gas. Technology to reduce energy prices, create jobs, enhance national security, according to a task force by President Obama's Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
Critics say damn has been linked to in Pennsylvania groundwater pollution, ozone concentration, the Wyoming and headache, sore throat, breathing difficulties, people live in the vicinity of the wells in Colorado. Underground drilling wastewater has been linked to earthquakes in Ohio, Arkansas and other countries.
In May, the shale resources and the Institute for Social Research found that half of the rate since 2008 blowout, oil spills and water pollution from drilling in Pennsylvania. Potential environmental problems can completely avoid or mitigate the proposed rules "in New York, report by shale institutions.

The main author Tim Considine groups in the past, such as the American Petroleum Institute and the Wyoming Mining Association has been professor of economics at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources. Buffalo report, the report pointed out that Considine in the title of the University of Wyoming, he does not disclose in advance his work as the Industrial Group.
"In my opinion, this is exaggerated," Considine response, the report of the State University of New York, said in an interview in June. Used to determine from the core message of the report, shale gas drilling, hydraulic fracturing, especially, can be adjusted, so it will not cause any significant risk to the public and the environment. "
The Institute is actively seeking corporate sponsorship efforts of the milestone, and take full advantage of the security, sustainable development, economic development, shale gas, "according to Director Kevin Connor, the public accountability of actions, from the group 's Web site to download a file.
A group of 83 professors and staff set up in August at the University at Buffalo's shale institutions and capital requirements document. The trustee in the process of school review report of the study group.
"In this case, the importance and influence of social research can not be carried out effectively with cloud uncertainty in its work, Tripathi said.
Considine also co-wrote the annual damn Marcellus shale Union, the industrial group headquartered in Pittsburgh by Pennsylvania State University study. The study began in 2009, was canceled in October, some of the teachers refused to participate.

Industry groups angered New York fracking delay
Gas industry expressed disappointment Monday with the country's ongoing review of hydraulic fracturing, a trade group, said its trust in the state government have been "exhausted".
Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York sent a letter to the governor Andrew Cuomo (Andrew Cuomo),, urging him to his Department of Environmental Protection released a large-scale hydraulic fracturing of the long-awaited final report, and to push forward with the issue of permits.
The letter came ahead of the regulatory deadline of November 29, if you miss, you need to the DEC reopen its proposed regulations for public consultation.
"The lives and livelihoods of hundreds of New York families, now is a great risk," IOGA executive director Brad Gill wrote in the letter. "Unnecessary delay to the end of the rule-making process, the upstate economy is a serious problem."
Last week, the state Department of Health confirmed that the name of three outside experts who will assist in the review of DEC's efforts to limit or prevent the potential health impacts from hydrofracking, a technology in which water, sand and chemicals are injected into underground shale formation fracture rock and release natural gas.
One expert - Lynn, Goldman Sachs, dean of the George Washington University School of Public Health - said last week that she was told to be wrapped in the latest independent review in mid-February. "
The DEC launched is called Universal supplemental environmental impact report - report - permit must be completed before July 2008, high-volume hydrofracking issue. The report will not end the completed until specific health review, in accordance with deceleration.

Reasons: long time rival Hewlett-Packard, Dell, like a lot of revenue from the PC, the machine has lost its appeal to consumers and corporate buyers cheaper smartphones and tablet PCs become more obsessed. A weak economy, particularly in Europe and China, has brought more challenges.
While investors prepare for a frustrating quarter, Dell's numbers slightly lower than analysts' expectations.

This marks the fourth consecutive quarter, Dell compared to the same period last year, the magnitude of the decline in sales revenue this year to expand.
Doused any lingering hopes sobering outlook Microsoft, Dell may get a holiday sales lift from the release of Windows 8, a fundamental transformation of the powers of most PC operating system. In a conference call with analysts, Dell executives said they expected the PC market is still lackluster, at best, at least two quarters.
ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall (Brian Marshall) think that Dell a few years to rebound. He predicted that the study Thursday announced that Dell is "between a rock and a hard place."
Dell's stock price fell 15 cents, to $ 9.41 in after-hours trading results and forecast disappointing to go out. In the past nine months, the share price has fallen by nearly half the value, because it has become increasingly clear the company is unlikely to adapt quickly to a few swipes of the finger mellow, handheld devices control the growing demand.
In the most recent quarter, Dell's mobile service revenue 9% drop from the same period last year, while desktop PC sales fell 8%.

Dell reiterated a previous forecast full year adjusted earnings per share of at least $ 1.70.
The company is trying to expand to large companies and government agencies selling software, technical consulting, data storage and computer servers to cope with the downturn of the PC business. All of these features to generate higher profits than selling computers and printers.
Dell's server and network operations announced last year 11% of revenue. It helps through several acquisitions.
Dell notebook and desktop computers at the same time, consumers have little interest, mainly because they tend to be a higher price than the other depends on the Windows PC operating system.

Government cracks will "undermine confidence" in the solar industry in the UK
Senior government figures, as the attempt to remove the British promise of renewable energy, will prove to be disastrous solar and other clean energy technologies, industry-leading digital warning.
Environmental management agency announced yesterday, Greenpeace undercover film reveals a significant extent, the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne (George Osborne) and other senior British ministers and members of Congress are trying to dilute the legally binding commitments, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the generation of low-carbon energy investment.
While these movies has refused his request, implicated in renewable energy advocates in the field, as a sister publication of the PV-Tech Company "solar power generation portal, said the impression it gives departments within the coalition government will be" completely destroyed. " confidence in the industry.
The secret records, Lord Howell, Osborne's father in law, and a government energy adviser, told an undercover reporter, principals privately expressed regret commitment, greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy targets Conservative signed Before the last general election.
"The prime minister is not familiar with these issues, they do not understand. Osborne, of course, get the news and put pressure on," Howell said.
Senior Conservative MP Peter Liley, a well-known climate change skeptics, Osborne has been to promote the Conservative Party Members share his views to be given the role of senior ministers.
These measures include: Owen Paterson, Secretary for the Environment and Energy Minister John Hayes, both newly appointed minister in the recent reshuffle. Shortly after short is the transfer of energy, Hayes has won himself a slap in the face, from the Prime Minister and Energy Minister Ed David publicly called for an end to land-based wind farms.
Portal in solar power, Ray nobility, Renewable Energy Association, Solar experts, said: "This will completely undermine the confidence of the industry. Solar industry has at its knees. To listen incompetent Congressman told reporters that things like this will destroy everyone's confidence - whether you are a customer, installation, suppliers or investors. "
Prime Minister of the the RenewableUK Trade Organization says energy policy a grip.
MAF Smith, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, said: "Energy Minister's opinion, may weaken the confidence of investors, to the detriment of the urgent need for renewable energy projects, and many around the UK, they will create thousands of jobs.
"This is intentionally, recklessly re-written before the most important generation of government intervention in the energy market - in the policies of the Energy Act Alliance released later this month."

China's solar energy industry subsidies offer hope
In addition, some sources told the the fiscal new government led by the National Energy Authority (NEA), the powerful National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) arm, plans to launch a faster more solar industry stimulus.
Sources said, the ultimate goal of the plan is to increase domestic demand for solar panels, and to help the manufacturers have found it increasingly difficult to sell their products in foreign countries. About 90% of the Chinese solar manufacturing output for export.

"New Century" is a Beijing-based media group, is committed to providing customers with high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through the newspapers, the networks and TV / video programs.
• "New Century" Newsletter
Solar power subsidy cuts in Europe, a weak global economy and U.S. trade barriers for manufacturing solar products is one of the factors that put pressure on domestic manufacturers.
NEA on September 14 announced plans to provide subsidies to encourage national solar power station installation. In short, the agency said, the government will support up to 15 million kilowatts of installed capacity, or more than the value of 70 billion yuan ($ 1.12 billion) standard solar panels.
The Commission has not given a total amount of funding schemes within the scope of the National Digital, also did not say how much money will be available to the individual power plant builders. However, the plan will be beneficial to small power producers: NEA will provide subsidies only station with 500 MW of installed capacity.
The solar power station operators may include apartment buildings, the city commercial facilities and on the roof of the factory mounting plate company.
Station operators in northern China's ability to sell or at least the transmission of power by the state-owned, regional power distributor, State Grid Corporation, it is clear that the NEA has agreed to support the initiative.
China's leadership: one-third is not good
Waiting on the register of members of the new leadership in China is now the return on business as usual.
Recommendations on October 26, the State Grid Corporation said it would allow small-scale solar power plants connected to the grid and provide electricity, in a limited range. The utility said it will provide free technical support services, and a hook that can be completed within 45 days.
China Southern Power Grid Company, most parts of southern China, state-owned transmission tool, also did not respond to the NEA subsidy program.
The National Grid Earlier refuse to open up the idea of grid solar power stations. Its executives believe that solar energy is an unstable power resources, and competition from station operators will reduce their income.
Unfinished business
Significant changes in the national grid, the heart is in the right direction forward step, said Su, chairman Weili, headquartered in the Sky Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, to establish and run a solar power station.
Su said that the power station operators will choose whether to sell all or only part of the electricity generated. They can also decide how much power to generate their own needs, and how much, if any, to be purchased through the national grid. Most are expected to continue through the purchasing power of the grid, thus avoiding dry on rainy days.
However,, NEA has not yet to spell out all the details of the subsidy program. Therefore, no one knows how much benefit it may make solar power manufacturers.
"We still need to do a lot of work, said:" NEA source. "Currently, we are only a rough subsidies for solar power generation and distribution station."
The rewards of solar panels and related equipment manufacturers may keep the hum of the assembly line. However, many companies and industry analysts to respond to the National Energy Board and the National Grid announced cautious.
Solar energy supplier based in Jiangsu Province, "a source said:" The outlook is not bright solar firm orders this year or next year. "The big companies should stop expanding and need to focus on to improve their technology small businesses should try to survive."
According to sources, the government may provide up to 0.5 yuan U.S. dollar against RMB 0.0481 percent per kilowatt-hour "subsidies to producers, the connection to the grid and sell electricity. Considerable Of course, in this range of subsidies to investors return on power plants, factories and commercial buildings on top of the installation, the researcher at the Energy Research Institute of National Development and Reform Commission, Wang Sicheng said.
Renewable energy development fund to provide capital subsidy, established in November 2011, and the support from the National Energy Board, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance.
Fund money buyers from across the country, including the power industry, businesses and households. Each electricity customers pay 8 points, or 0.08 yuan, the fund each month, every electricity bill payment.
"Theoretically" the fund's total input of 30 one billion yuan, said Fan Bi, the State Council, Deputy Director of Research. "But in fact, it is less than 2 billion yuan every year due to incentives for local government to allow duty-free and reduce costs."
Now, the election is over, the Department of Energy issued a number of delays - and political - review, bear on the future of U.S. manufacturing: What is the new export more U.S. natural gas bonanza effect?
Fan Gang said, the first year of about 1.8 billion yuan from the fund is used to subsidize wind power industry. It also provides financial support for biomass, garbage, electricity and solar energy facilities.
But the fan base gold "is grossly inadequate," said it can not meet the country's needs, the financial support for alternative energy.
According to the government's energy plan to 2015, the cumulative installed capacity is expected to rise to more than 30 million kilowatts. Solar power installations in China this year, and this year is expected to add capacity of 5,000,000 kilowatts, even Rui said, the market research firm Solarbuzz analyst in California.
NEA subsidy program. Lian said, not more than one million kilowatts of installed capacity may be provided with a set of solar power plants. A project may involve many household or industrial park, "he said.
Su said, it may be to promote employment between the installation of solar panels and power systems company, to help local economic development initiative. "Many small installation contractor will appear," he said. "It will also create more employment opportunities."
Sources said, the ultimate goal of the plan is to increase domestic demand for solar panels, and to help the manufacturers have found it increasingly difficult to sell their products in foreign countries. About 90% of the Chinese solar manufacturing output for export.

However, the plan will be beneficial to small power producers: NEA will provide subsidies only station with 500 MW of installed capacity.
The solar power station operators may include apartment buildings, the city commercial facilities and on the roof of the factory mounting plate company.
Station operators in northern China's ability to sell or at least the transmission of power by the state-owned, regional power distributor, State Grid Corporation, it is clear that the NEA has agreed to support the initiative.
China's leadership: one-third is not good
Waiting on the register of members of the new leadership in China is now the return on business as usual.
Recommendations on October 26, the State Grid Corporation said it would allow small-scale solar power plants connected to the grid and provide electricity, in a limited range. The utility said it will provide free technical support services, and a hook that can be completed within 45 days.
China Southern Power Grid Company, most parts of southern China, state-owned transmission tool, also did not respond to the NEA subsidy program.
The National Grid Earlier refuse to open up the idea of grid solar power stations. Its executives believe that solar energy is an unstable power resources, and competition from station operators will reduce their income.
Unfinished business
Significant changes in the national grid, the heart is in the right direction forward step, said Su, chairman Weili, headquartered in the Sky Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, to establish and run a solar power station.
Su said that the power station operators will choose whether to sell all or only part of the electricity generated. They can also decide how much power to generate their own needs, and how much, if any, to be purchased through the national grid. Most are expected to continue through the purchasing power of the grid, thus avoiding dry on rainy days.
However,, NEA has not yet to spell out all the details of the subsidy program. Therefore, no one knows how much benefit it may make solar power manufacturers.
"We still need to do a lot of work, said:" NEA source. "Currently, we are only a rough subsidies for solar power generation and distribution station."
The rewards of solar panels and related equipment manufacturers may keep the hum of the assembly line. However, many companies and industry analysts to respond to the National Energy Board and the National Grid announced cautious.
Solar energy supplier based in Jiangsu Province, "a source said:" The outlook is not bright solar firm orders this year or next year. "The big companies should stop expanding and need to focus on to improve their technology small businesses should try to survive."
According to sources, the government may provide up to 0.5 yuan U.S. dollar against RMB 0.0481 percent per kilowatt-hour "subsidies to producers, the connection to the grid and sell electricity. Considerable Of course, in this range of subsidies to investors return on power plants, factories and commercial buildings on top of the installation, the researcher at the Energy Research Institute of National Development and Reform Commission, Wang Sicheng said.
Renewable energy development fund to provide capital subsidy, established in November 2011, and the support from the National Energy Board, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance.
Fund money buyers from across the country, including the power industry, businesses and households. Each electricity customers pay 8 points, or 0.08 yuan, the fund each month, every electricity bill payment.
"Theoretically" the fund's total input of 30 one billion yuan, said Fan Bi, the State Council, Deputy Director of Research. "But in fact, it is less than 2 billion yuan every year due to incentives for local government to allow duty-free and reduce costs."
Now, the election is over, the Department of Energy issued a number of delays - and political - review, bear on the future of U.S. manufacturing: What is the new export more U.S. natural gas bonanza effect?
Fan Gang said, the first year of about 1.8 billion yuan from the fund is used to subsidize wind power industry. It also provides financial support for biomass, garbage, electricity and solar energy facilities.
But the fan base gold "is grossly inadequate," said it can not meet the country's needs, the financial support for alternative energy.
According to the government's energy plan to 2015, the cumulative installed capacity is expected to rise to more than 30 million kilowatts. Solar power installations in China this year, and this year is expected to add capacity of 5,000,000 kilowatts, even Rui said, the market research firm Solarbuzz analyst in California.
NEA subsidy program. Lian said, not more than one million kilowatts of installed capacity may be provided with a set of solar power plants. A project may involve many household or industrial park, "he said.
Su said, it may be to promote employment between the installation of solar panels and power systems company, to help local economic development initiative. "Many small installation contractor will appear," he said. "It will also create more employment opportunities."

Building Communities to Rise and Seize the Opportunities - Government Discovering Software Solutions at the ICMA
The 98th Annual International City and County Management Association (ICMA) Conference and Exposition held on October 7-10, 2012, offered educational sessions with in-depth exploration of the most pressing challenges facing cities and counties across the United States. This year’s conference explored how communities could embrace their uniqueness to create dynamic and rewarding places for residents to live and work through community development solutions.
As traditional resources have waned, maximizing the contribution of residents was the key ingredient to a successful community. Officials were encouraged to engage individual citizens, community groups, and neighborhood associations in an effort to help solve problems, address issues, and build community relations.
ICMA was an ideal venue for Mitchell Humphrey to introduce its FastTrackGov® product line to managers interested in using on-line tools. Mitchell Humphrey built its full suite with the belief that community building is critical to turning a well-managed city or county into a strong, vibrant community. Survey findings show that the top two barriers to implementing e-government are the lack of financial resources and the lack of technology and/or web staff. With the implementation of cloud solutions, both obstacles can be significantly reduced.
“The familiarity of Microsoft Dynamics® CRM provides the best possible user experience. We are able to offer a choice of a traditional on-premise deployment or the agility and speed of the cloud,” stated Kim Schaefer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Mitchell Humphrey.
The FTG Connect® web portal allows municipalities to accept payments for licenses, permits, or other fees. FastTrackGov allows a community to configure its applications to their city ordinances. On-line messaging can be used to track conversations by both officials and citizens.

Boge Announces Innovative Combined Control for Compressor Stations
Boge is announcing a new revolutionary product that will help companies increase efficiency and save on operational costs. The airtelligence provis 2.0 controls complex compressor stations of up to 16 rigid or frequency-controlled compressors of various makes in an intelligent and consumption independent way. The control visualizes central parameters (system pressure, volume flow rate, compressor status and operating times, etc.) on the web server in a clear manner. In addition, up to 24 accessory components, such as refrigerated air dryers, filters, fans, dampers or sensors can be integrated. Based on the actual compressed air consumption, the airtelligence provis 2.0 determines the increased or reduced demand and automatically selects the ideal compressor combination. As a result, users ensure consumer-oriented, energy-efficient and in particular cost-oriented operation of their compressed air systems.
Compressed air exactly as required
The PLC control with an intelligent control algorithm makes a pressure forecast based on the actual consumption data and also includes the reaction times of the connected air compressors. This ensures that the compressors are always activated at the optimum point of time and that the specifically required compressed air rate is provided at a minimum energy input. The airtelligence provis 2.0 optimizes load and no-load times by reducing or avoiding frequent cycle behaviour. In addition to an optimization of the delivery quantity, the customers can also select an operating hour or maintenance hour optimized mode for the compressor station.
Intuitive Display
Despite its sophisticated functions, the airtelligence provis 2.0 is easy to program and parametrize. On a high-quality 9-inch TFT colour display (800 x 480 pixels) with LED black light, parameter assignment of the control is made intuitively on the touchscreen. The touchscreen visualizes, for example, data about the current operating status, progression charts for volume flow rate and pressure profile, the current CO2 emissions, trend displays with historical data as well as the pressure dew point. An integrated USB connection enables the loading of software updates or a subsequent parameter assignment.
Simple installation, maximum safety
For the startup of the compressed air system, the relevant compressors and components are easily identified via ModbusScan and comfortably integrated. Performance data of BOGE compressors are stored in the airtelligence provis 2.0 and will be assigned automatically to the compressors in the network. New standards regarding transparency and clarity are set by the airtelligence provis 2.0 with the browser-based visualization that can be integrated through an Ethernet interface into an existing network structure. The visualization offers a comprehensive alarm management (e.g. active fault messages by email) and the possibility of remote monitoring with an analysis and subsequent evaluation of the files through reports and data export.
Short amortisation
Combined control systems generally pay for themselves within a short time, since the consumption-dependent activation and deactivation of the compressors leads to significant energy savings. With the airtelligence provis 2.0, these savings are particularly high due to the intelligent control behaviour.
Press Release optimization services provided by Vayu Media.

New standards regarding transparency and clarity are set by the airtelligence provis 2.0 with the browser-based visualization that can be integrated through an Ethernet interface into an existing network structure. The visualization offers a comprehensive alarm management (e.g. active fault messages by email) and the possibility of remote monitoring with an analysis and subsequent evaluation of the files through reports and data export.
Short amortisation
Combined control systems generally pay for themselves within a short time, since the consumption-dependent activation and deactivation of the compressors leads to significant energy savings. With the airtelligence provis 2.0, these savings are particularly high due to the intelligent control behaviour.

State Farm and Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) Sow Seeds for Community Gardens Initiative
A $28,000 State Farm® Youth Advisory Board grant will allow young residents of NRHA assisted-rental communities to sow the seeds for community gardens that improve land-use, access to fresh produce and healthy lifestyles.
State Farm, City of Norfolk, NRHA officials, community leaders and students will celebrate this fall harvest at 2:30 pm October 18, 2012 in the community garden located at Calvert Square apartments, 975 Bagnall Rd. in Norfolk.
Residents of NRHA assisted-rental communities lack proximity or economic access to fresh and nutritional food outlets. Poor diet and lack of consistent physical activity is a significant contributor to obesity, which leads to other serious health problems. Research shows that obesity rises as incomes fall.
By cultivating and tending community gardens, located in their neighborhood or at their elementary school, youth can encourage their peers to eat healthier at a younger age as well as be an example for parents, elderly and disabled residents.
As with many urban centers, Norfolk is challenged with improving indicators and outcomes for healthy lifestyles. In that regard, Norfolk City Council earlier this year adopted a “Healthy Norfolk” initiative “that through community collaboration will support health and well being by actively promoting healthy policies, environmental change and education.”
The NRHA Community Garden Program received $28,440 from the State Farm Youth Advisory Board. NRHA is one of only 68 organizations to receive a service-learning, youth-led grant across the U.S. and Canada. The State Farm Youth Advisory Board has granted over $24 million in grant money since 2006, empowering youth to implement service learning in 397 communities.
“The young adults on the State Farm Youth Advisory Board picked this grant because it stood out in a sea of applications,” said State Farm Agent Garry Price. “I recently met one of the young gardeners, and I understand exactly why this project was chosen. These students are ambitious, and I believe we will see the positive effects of their work all over Norfolk.”
“I think this is exactly the type of community collaboration City Council has in mind as we make Norfolk an even better place to live,” said NRHA Chief Executive Officer Shurl Montgomery. “We are grateful for State Farm’s recognition and partnership in this healthy initiative.”
