We Like Growth - Smart Growth

SmartGrowth is a series of progressive principles regarding development based on fiscal, social and environmental values. These principles should provide for transparent, predictable, and cost effective development. Our goal is to share ideas for creating a more environmentally, socially and fiscally conscious community which benefits all its residents.
Some of the principles include;

-Mixed Land Use Development
-Compact Neighbourhoods
-Investment in Infrastructure
-Preservation of Green Space
-Diverse Housing Options
-Emphasis on Green Building to save money and help the environment
-Engaged Citizens
