Annual Conference to cover sustainability from all angles
When most people think of "sustainability," they think about the environment and "going green." While environmental concerns are certainly an integral part of sustainability, the concept involves much more for counties. The NCACC's 102nd Annual Conference, which will be held Aug. 27-30 at the Hickory Metro Convention Center in Catawba County, will focus on "Building Sustainable Counties."
