ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ County leaders are asking Arlington residents for input on the transition period before banning gas-powered leaf blowers, with an online survey open until October 29 to decide if residents and businesses should get 18, 24, or 36 months to adjust. Jennifer Fioretti said the feedback will help set a fair timeline as similar bans in nearby areas have allowed time for such changes. ARLnow
