A Smart Growth Agenda for Connecticut's Economy
Our program "Puts the Growth Back in Smart Growth" by providing a blueprint for promoting sustainable economic prosperity while also enhancing our state's quality of life through an urban growth agenda that improves the quality of place in Connecticut. We are developing a program that will: Convene an Economic Growth Taskforce that outlines how Connecticut is changing, along with the challenges and opportunities we currently face to bring growth back to our state; Re-convene the Property Tax Working Group to outline opportunities for property tax reform;Release white-papers on these groups' findings and recommendations and educate the public on them in the spring of 2012 at our 4th Annual Smart Growth Conference, and also at Regional Smart Growth Workshops in major cities throughout the state;Run a Brownfield Remediation Incentive Campaign;Support a TOD Coalition, and;Sponsor a series of Friday evening "salons" to encourage lively debate in a relaxed setting and develop a similar plan aimed towards young professionals.
