Request for Applications: Smart Growth Implementation Assistance
Free technical assistance available!
Are you trying to encourage specific smart growth techniques like
transit-oriented development? Or direct your state department of
transportation investments to better support smart growth? Are you
looking to use smart growth to reach greenhouse gas reduction and
affordable housing goals? Do you need help analyzing guidelines for
school investments that best fit your state or community? Do you need
to retrofit a commercial corridor? Or coordinate your community's smart
growth design with an active aging program?
The Development, Community, and Environment Division in U.S. EPA's
Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation is responding to this need
by issuing a request for applications for the Smart Growth
Implementation Assistance program. Through this program, a team of
multidisciplinary experts will provide free technical assistance to
communities, regions, or states that want to develop in ways that meet
environmental and other local or regional goals.
Communities, regions, and states around the country are interested in
building stronger neighborhoods, protecting their environmental
resources, enhancing public health, and planning for development, but
they may lack the tools, resources, or information to achieve these
goals. EPA can help applicants overcome these roadblocks by providing
evaluation tools and expert analysis.
EPA is soliciting applications from entities that want help with either
policy analysis or public participatory processes. Selected recipients
will receive assistance in the form of a multi-day visit from a team of
experts organized by EPA and other national partners to work with local
leaders. Applications will be accepted until May 8, 2008.
For more information and application materials, please go to
www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/sgia.htm.
