Harvard Fellows to Lead Riverwall Charette
Ryan Kieta
Vision 2025 Community Developer
Beginning Friday, eight world-renowned architects, developers, and planners from the Loeb Fellowship of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design will be in Johnstown to facilitate a charrette and help the community re-imagine the city's flood wall system.
The charrette is broken into a series of events over three days. The public is invited and encouraged to participate in this free workshop. The goal of the weekend is for the Harvard team to help the Johnstown community develop a vision for how the flood wall system might be revitalized, taking into consideration economic development, art, culture, ecology and community.
All events take place at BottleWorks in Cambria City:
Friday, September 9 from 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm: Lecture by Harvard Fellows on strategies that other communities have tried
Saturday, September 10 from 9 am - 4 pm: Full-day charrette, facilitated by Harvard Fellows
Sunday, September 11 from 10 am - 12 pm: Summary session and next-steps

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has changed the way it manages its Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes. New and updated CAGE codes are now assigned an expiration date as of August 25, 2016. What does this mean for you and your business?
You will be safe from expiration simply by keeping your System for Award Management (SAM) registration up to date. SAM requires you to update your records at least once a year and failure to do so risks the expiration of your code. If your code does expire, your company will not be able to do business with the Federal Government and you will become ineligible for government funding, meaning you will not get paid for the work you are already conducting!
Fortunately, if your SAM registration does expire, you do still have the option to renew it. Once it is renewed, the CAGE system will receive a notification and your CAGE code will be given a new expiration date.
If you have questions regarding this or any other government contracting topic, please contact us at (814) 254-4022 or (814) 254-4023 or via email at jariptac@jari.com.
