Leveraging Private Sector Investments and Public Funds to Support Smart Growt...
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.

Colorado Riverfront Project - Stacy Beaugh, Tamarisk Coalition
Grand Junction, CO is one of the only metropolitan areas of its size that sits on the Colorado River, source of water for over 30 million people. The river sustains our way of life through agriculture and recreation, and is critical to desert ecosystems. For over 25 years the Colorado Riverfront Commission helped the greater Grand Junction community (Grand Valley) be stewards of this resource.
The Riverfront Commission was founded in 1987 to serve the City of Grand Junction, Town of Palisade, City of Fruita and Mesa County by coordinating efforts to revitalize and enhance the Colorado Riverfront. The Commission, a volunteer advisory board, boasts diverse membership from local elected officials (ex-offico members), state park and local government representatives, and community members whose current professions range from bankers, doctors, nonprofit administrators, students, lawyers, retirees, and others.
Among many accomplishments, our primary focus has been to connect the various community resources, open space, and parks by completing a paved, recreational trail along the greenway of the Colorado Riverfront in Western Colorado, otherwise known as connecting the “string of pearls”. The Riverfront Trail is becoming a vital backbone trail allowing connection to the incredible natural resources available on public lands surrounding the Grand Valley including five parks that make up the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park system and numerous state wildlife areas. The long-awaited connection between the towns of Fruita and Grand Junction will be completed in August of 2014 and there are many smaller non-connected sections completed between Grand Junction and the town of Palisade, all totaling over 22 miles of hard surface trails. The Riverfront trails current footprint is approximately 2/3 of the Grand Valley’s riverfront and is seen by the community as an alternative transportation corridor, providing non-motorized access to state parks and wildlife areas; is a venue for maintaining a healthy lifestyle; provides opportunities for education; and has provided access to the river for boating, wildlife and bird viewing, and other recreational activities.
