| How
two states curbed land-grabbing development |
| |
| Featuring
former governors Christine Todd Whitman and Parris
N. Glendening |
| |
Connecticut
faces relentless pressure to develop its remaining
fields, forests and farms. Each day, according to
one survey, 45 acres fall to development. Other
states have faced the same problem. Two governors
who took dramatic action to preserve their rural
landscapes will address the issue at the next Hartford
Courant Key Issues Forum. Former New Jersey
Gov. Christine Todd Whitman preserved one
million acres of farmland and open space in the
nation’s most densely populated state before
becoming Secretary of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. Former Maryland Gov. Parris N. Glendening
created innovative incentives, since copied in more
than a dozen states, to stop sprawl and revive town
centers. |
