About the Program

Speaker: Buddy Milliken, Owner, The Milliken Company.

One of few authentic green communities in North Carolina, The Village of Woodsong, a Traditional Neighbourhood Development (TND) near Shallotte, received the first ever Outstanding Recognition award for environmental excellence by The Lower Cape Fear Stewardship Program.

Woodsong's stormwater plan was created to meet the triple bottom line of social, financial, and environmental values as it aimed to meet regulations and improve water quality.

Mr. Milliken will discuss his experience with getting innovative development ideas through the planning and permitting process and into reality in Woodsong, as well as potential barriers to future green development in the state.
