The New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) held another successful seminar series in New York City in conjunction with the Association of Towns of the State of New York’s annual conference.
The Association of Towns of the State of New York was established in 1933 to help towns obtain greater economy and efficiency. The Association serves town governments by providing training programs, research and information services, technical assistance, legal services, insurance programs and a variety of publications to member towns. It represents town governments by providing advocacy in Albany, monitoring legislation and regulatory action, lobbying and presenting initiatives solely on behalf of towns.
The NYSSPE seminars covered topics including the Verrazano Bridge Toll Plaza Reconstruction Project, ethical responsibility in engineering, The New NY Bridge (Tappan Zee Bridge) project, energy cost savings, the prioritization of transportation assets, and the repair and protection of parking garages.
There were also some very informative sessions on the new NYS Department of Environmental Conservation on-line systems to process construction stormwater permit and other types of stormwater permit applications; as well as planning for the new(est) definition of federal waters of the United States (wetlands & streams).
The NYSSPE is very grateful to all of those who attended and those who presented the seminars at the event.
