Many communities around the country are asking for tools and resources to help them achieve their desired development goals, improve the quality of life for their residents, and make their communities more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. In response to this demand, EPA developed the Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program. Building Blocks seeks to provide quick, targeted technical assistance to communities using a variety of tools that have demonstrated results and widespread application. This technical assistance helps selected local and tribal governments implement development approaches that protect the environment, improve public health, create jobs, expand economic opportunity, and make communities more livable. The panelists present an overview of the tools being offered and a summary of the experiences over the first two rounds of this program, and also provide information on how to apply for technical assistance in the future.

Robert Brustein, Professor Emeritus of English at Harvard; Founder of the Yale Repertory and American Repertory Theatres, playwright, author (“The Tainted Muse: Prejudice and Presumption in Shakespeare and His Time”), and recipient of the National Medal of Arts, talks about: how easily the forces of good can be overwhelmed by the forces of evil, Iago as a new kind of image in literature, and the embodiment of a world without a vigilant God. Michael Wood, Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, at Princeton, author (“Shakespeare”), critic (New York and London Reviews of Books), will talk about how language works in “Othello” as a means of seduction and almost becomes a character in its own right.
