Idaho Smart Growth helps communities implement growth and development strategies that support improved economic, environmental, and public health goals. Staff member, Elaine Clegg, will provide results of her recent study of which communities are implementing various principles of smart growth: why they chose this route and how it is working for them.
EPA provides funds to communities implementing Smart Growth approaches. Find out from Matt Dalbey how to apply for these funds and how three communities in Idaho used their funds to direct growth to their town core. http://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/sgia.htm
