VT Edition: Noelle Mackay & Mark Blucher on vital communities

Wednesday, 03/11/09 1:59pm

Jane Lindholm

There's a natural tension between wanting to grow and wanting to preserve what you have. How communities go about doing that is part of the unglamorous and sometimes contentious process called planning.

As part of our Vermont in Transition series, VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Noelle Mackay of Smart Growth Vermont and Mark Blucher of the Rutland Regional Planning Commission about development and how the decisions towns make about where to put houses, stores and open space determine the quality of life for future generations.
