2013 Building Greener Communities Advisory Committee

2013 Highlights Building Greener Communities We are excited to share with you the highlights from the past year of HeartLand Conservancy’s Building Greener Communities program. During the course of the year, we have had the great honor to meet and listen to community mayors, staff, business leaders, and residents. What we hear is the great passion within our communities to make our communities great places to live and work. We have a great quality of life. As our communities grow, we must retain the qualities we treasure so that we can keep and improve our quality of life. HeartLands Conservancy’s Building Greener Communities program area strives to create a network of communities which are engaged and active in improving their communities. We assist communities in addressing complex development issues with an emphasis on complete streets, green infrastructure, and regional leadership.
