“Think of it as an incubator, bringing together Viera’s people, resources and ideas,” said Lauri Duda, Vice President of the Viera Community Institute.
“As Viera grows, we see the need to better serve the larger community and make a more profound impact in the lives of our residents. That’s the goal of the institute.”
The Viera Community Institute will also emphasize environmental stewardship by working in conjunction with the Viera Stewardship District to plan and promote events where residents can learn about eco-friendly landscape and irrigation practices.
“We are committed to protecting Viera’s conservation lands and educating our residents on how they can participate in reducing their environmental impacts,” Duda said.
“Among our goals is to promote environmental awareness and foster cooperative relationships to help Viera continue as a sustainable community.”
The institute will continue to spearhead many of the signature events of the Viera Future Foundation, like the Great American Celebration and Light Up Viera.
The 2015 Great American Celebration will once again be held at Space Coast Stadium, where attendees can see a Manatees baseball game, a fireworks show and indulge in a BBQ dinner for the price of admission.
