The Chesapeake & Potomac Regional Alliance

The Chesapeake & Potomac Regional Alliance has prepared the report “Smart Growth Proposal,” which provides tools for identifying projects that are consistent with smart growth principles. The report includes a project evaluation chart that allows advocacy groups and citizens to score a development proposal based on characteristics such as location, connectivity, mix of uses, walkability, and the track record of the developer. Information on comparable endorsement programs from around the country is included, as well as case studies of actual development proposals in Maryland. The report is available at www.capregion.org.
