To address the need for affordable planning and to promote best-
This project will provide participating municipalities an opportunity to engage in this critical planning process by attending classes and utilizing resources provided by the County Planner and MRB Group, consultants selected to assist with the training.
The program began in March, 2015, with four local communities committed to a series of classroom activities and meetings. Each is designed to provide them the knowledge and tools needed to direct their own comprehensive planning process. The objective is to encourage community planning, give focus to Smart Growth principles and sustainability, and allow four Allegany County communities an opportunity they might not have been able to afford on their own.
The project received funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), which recognized the innovative approach to enhancing efforts in multiple communities with a single investment. The project was awarded a grant as part the agency’s “Cleaner Greener Communities” initiative.
