Smart Growth Strategies
Development decisions affect many of the things that touch people's everyday lives - their homes, their health, the schools their children attend, the taxes they pay, their daily commute, the natural environment around them, economic growth in their community, and opportunities to achieve their dreams and goals. Communities across the country are using smart growth strategies to develop in ways that preserve natural lands and critical environmental areas, protect water and air quality, and reuse already-developed land.
