| From 1000 Friends of CT:
Congratulations and thank you!
All smart growth bills passed, most by strong majorities!!
The General Assembly moved the smart growth agenda leaps and bounds defining smart growth, encouraging regionalism, creating a tax credit for green/transit oriented development projects, saving dairy, protecting the community investment account, and making bike and pedestrian-friendly streets a priority.
This was big work, resulting from strong coalitions and passionate and dedicated champions.
Cudos to Representative Sharkey, Representative Berger, Representative Kehoe, all the members of the Smart Growth Working Group, all the members of the Brownfield Task Force, the bicycle and pedestrian advocates, developers advocating for the tax credit, the dairy, farmland, open space, historic preservation and affordable housing advocates. Connecticut is rich with leaders and visionaries, and its future is bright!
Take time to thank the leadership and members of the House and Senate, and your colleagues and fellow advocates!
Also urge the Governor to pass the bills and celebrate our smart, sustainable, responsible growth! |
