Environmental projects implemented by Florida’s cities and counties require funding to get done. Learn the basics of how municipal budgets work in Florida, and how you can work to get environmental projects funded in your community, whether it’s tree plantings and habitat restoration, stormwater facilities, renewable energy or bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

The municipal budget for the City of Pensacola will be used as an example, with a focus on energy conservation and renewable energy projects that help the City meet its goal of 30% renewable energy for city operations by 2030, along with tree plantings that can help the community adapt to the higher temperatures caused by climate change. Since municipal budgets in Florida have similar structures and funding sources, this example offers lessons for any of Florida’s cities and counties.

Event presenters are Laura Aguirre, state field coordinator for Audubon Florida, and Christian Wagley, coastal organizer for Healthy Gulf. Laura’s work is focused in community organizing, energizing environmental advocates across the state around climate solutions. Christian engages with people and communities along the Florida Gulf coast on issues such as water pollution, offshore drilling, climate change and endangered species.

Sensory Street, presented by Autism Pensacola and Regions Bank, is an interactive sensory experience sponsored by community partners who are hosting sensory booths along the inside of the Museum of Commerce.

Each station features an activity targeted to a specific behavior associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The event's purpose is to allow a safe space for individuals with ASD to practice learned skills, as well as to offer those who are not on the spectrum a glimpse into the challenges presented by ASD.

Sensory Street is a group effort to spread awareness, promote acceptance, and foster inclusion of individuals with ASD into the local community for employment, housing, and education.

Celebrate the kick-off to Gulf Coast Veteran's Week with fun and food for families and caregivers. Special guest speaker, Representative Michelle Salzman.
