Growing Greener: Conservation by Design

Growing Greener: Conservation by Design
Communities across Pennsylvania are realizing that they can conserve their special open spaces, greenways and natural resources at the same time they achieve their development objectives. How? Conservation through local zoning and subdivision ordinances, an approach we’re calling Growing Greener: Conservation by Design. If you want your community to take control of its destiny and ensure that new development creates more livable communities in the process, the Growing Greener: Conservation by Design approach might be right for you.
