Choices
Two million new residents will move to the Washington DC region by 2030. This growth is an opportunity for us to create great places in the right locations. Smarter growth tackles the two core issues of WHERE and HOW we should grow:
"Where will we build new homes, offices, stores, and schools?" and "How will we design new development?"
Where and how we grow affects everything from the time it takes to drive to work to the availability of fresh, local tomatoes. It determines how many job opportunities we have and what we pay in taxes, and it will shape our health and that of our children.
Everyone has a role to play in making these crucial decisions. By weighing the choices, and by communicating our priorities and vision to our elected officials, we can achieve a better way to grow in the Washington DC region.
