As part of its agency mission concerning long-range planning, DEQ has been seeking stakeholder input on the question, “What environmental and energy issues, if not addressed in the near future, will be of greatest concern to you and your constituencies in the next 30 to 50 years?” The process of gaining stakeholder answers to this question began with interviews of approximately 50 environmental leaders across the state. The interviewees’ input then became the basis for “Envisioning Our Future” breakout-session discussions and electronic surveys at Environment Virginia 2013. Results of the interviews, breakout sessions and electronic surveys are now posted on DEQ’s
website.
