In this mode, all of our environmental, social and functional woes are exacerbated. Help is on the way. Our City leaders have embraced the Smart Growth Initiative, and much work has already been done on rewriting the LDC to bring it into alignment with the more community and environmentally based principles of Smart Growth. Austan Librach, has been leading the re-writing effort toward more responsible land use. His team has developed a Smart Growth Matrix which includes incentives for sustainable development.
Sustainable building is an important aspect of creating a sustainable community.
This meeting with Austan Librach can help us start to understand how each of us as an individual or we as the SBC can more smartly help shape and support efforts toward sustainable land use and broaden our influence in building a sustainable community.
