Use A Green Roadmap 

Smart economic development takes long-term planning, and the High Road means setting a sustainable course.  By thinking about the future, we can create business models that will survive the next decade and the next generation.  To ignore the adverse implications on our environment in exchange for short term profit gain is a low road path to ruin.

Taking the High Road factors smart land use, smart transportation, and smart energy policy into our economic decisions.  It includes reducing sprawl by emphasizing downtown and inner ring development and renovation over ex-urban development of park, farm and forest land. This approach uses existing buildings instead of letting them turn into board-ups. It rewards environmentally-conscious firms that use green technologies and produce goods in sustainable ways.

The box to your right houses the best practices for taking the high road to green economic development.  Start the journey.  There is a choice
