Re: UrbanSim 4 release and training workshop

One minor correction on the dates for the Seattle OPUS/UrbanSim4
workshop: it is planned for July 9-12 (not 13).

Also, there will be a half-day session on May 24 in Austin at the
offices of CAPCOG, providing a quick introduction to OPUS/UrbanSim4.
Let me know if you have questions about that session.
