Sustainable Growth and Environmental Protection: Insights from the 2013 Public Information Session

At the June 12, 2013 Public Information Session, we addressed the crucial issue of land consumption outpacing population growth in our region. Over 80 years, land development surged five times the growth rate, posing significant challenges for sustainable development. Our CORE PLAN principles emphasize managing growth while protecting the environment, creating livable communities, and building a modern multimodal transportation system. With declining federal funding and rising needs, join us in discussing strategies for a sustainable future at www.dvrpc.org/connections2040.
