ECU Represents at the NC Rural Economic Summit! Dr Reide Corbett, interim dean of the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences will be joining a panel to discuss NC Coast Resilience.
This panel will explore key issues shaping the future of North Carolina’s coast, including coastal change and flooding, natural systems, infrastructure, community planning, and resilience investments. Panelists will discuss the tradeoffs involved in adapting to changing conditions and highlight the importance of making informed, locally driven decisions. The conversation will emphasize that resilience is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a community-by-community approach to protecting people, infrastructure, natural resources, and the long-term economic vitality of coastal North Carolina.
