Smart Growth America recently announced that fifteen communities, including Eastport, ME, and the Northern Maine Development Commission, have been selected to receive free smart growth technical assistance.
Each community will receive a 1- or 2-day training session with a smart growth expert on the issue of their choice. This technical assistance was made possible through a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities program.
Smart Growth America advises that, while the received nearly 90 applications from 34 states plus the District of Columbia for this technical assistance, the fifteen communities selected exhibited the strongest interest in and need for smart growth tools and clearly demonstrated a commitment from local business, community, and political leaders to implement local smart growth solution.
