Espaillat. “The interest in this tour has grown and this year I was proud to welcome more than 100 environmental policy leaders on the tour. I am especially grateful to each of the groups for their ongoing commitment and efforts to address the growing environmental challenges along the greenway and for their attention on the impact climate change is having on the surrounding communities. We are stronger when we worked united in our efforts to put into place multi-layered solutions that will benefit families and businesses in the region for many years to come.”
