The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting applications for the second annual
National Award for Smart Growth Achievement. This competition is open
to local or state governments and other public sector entities that have
successfully created smart growth. Applications are due by June
30.
The EPA encourages urban, suburban, and rural areas to submit applications
for smart-growth activities undertaken within the last five years. Successful
applicants will incorporate smart-growth principles to create places that
respect community culture and the environment, foster economic development,
and promote a better quality of life. The EPA will accept applications
in five categories:
• Built projects
• Policies and regulations
• Community outreach and education
• Public schools
• Overall excellence in smart growth.
Up to five winners will be recognized at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.,
in November.
