Conservation & Countryside • The Polk BoCC has endorsed the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision and its “4C’s”: • Centers-- Promote Vibrant City Centers • Corridors-- Connect our Centers with Multi-Modal Corridors • Conservation-- Protect our Precious Natural Resources • Countryside -- Preserve our Heritage and Sense of Place

  12. Green Infrastructure • “Green Infrastructure” means open spaces, natural areas, greenways, wetlands, parks, forests, treed roadway corridors, and similar areas that naturally sequester carbon dioxide and reduce the heat island effect in urban areas

  13. PolkGreen Interconnected Network of Open Spaces, Natural Areas and Agricultural Land “The overlay will provide a framework for land use policies and community investments that provide: protection of natural resources and wildlife habitat; habitat corridors through linked open spaces; protection of historic and cultural resources; recreational opportunities; community health benefits; economic development opportunities; and multi-use trails connecting population centers to natural areas.”
