What ROI is Your Town Planning and Designing For?

The assumptions many communities have that unquestioningly link growth with community prosperity need to be re-examined, recalibrated, and retooled.  This is because unfortunately, the form of development that this growth takes and that we encourage and regulate, can have significant negative impacts on the tax revenues of communities.  The wealth that they are seeking is not being generated, instead they are unknowing creating a financial burden that far outweighs benefits.  Yet almost all communities are unaware of this relationship and its results. 


The article below is one I recently wrote that explores how this process of enlightenment can begin, what is involved, and most importantly why every community needs to take action.
