Chris Towner to speak on offshore wind energy at Maryland State of the Ports event

Womble Bond Dickinson (WBD) Partner Chris Towner will be taking part in a panel discussion on offshore wind energy at the 2018 Maryland State of the Ports event.

Offshore wind energy in Maryland will have a huge impact on the port, reduce carbon emissions, and create economic growth across the region. The session will provide insights into the industry including the lifecycle of developing an offshore wind farm, international perspectives and local environmental and economic impacts of an offshore wind farm.

Towner will join panelists Kerry Doyle, Chief Commercial Officer at Tradepoint Atlantic; Josh Cohen, Director of Communications and Outreach/Maryland State Director for the Business Network for Offshore Wind; and Joy Weber, Development Manager for Deepwater Wind, in the discussion.
