About the event
Join the Land Trust for a conversation about the NEW Community Planning program. Program director, Cece Osborn, will explain the connections between conservation, sustainable growth and quality of life in the valley. Plus, she will review the program's five focus areas and immediate priorities:
- Evaluating measures to decrease the number of wildlife vehicle collisions on State Highway 75.
- Encouraging a revamp of the County’s Transfer of Development Rights program to incorporate a bank, communications hub, and the south valley cities.
- Evaluating the nexus between new market-rate development, job generation, and community housing needs.
“Community planning is another tool in our box, to manage growth in a way that furthers local conservation efforts,” says Executive Director Amy Trujillo. “Planning decisions shape a community. Planning influences whether a community’s design and development patterns will threaten or protect healthy open spaces, in turn affecting the quality of life for the people in it.”
