Technical Assistance Programs for Sustainable Communities
On August 30, 2011, EPA awarded cooperative agreements to the Cascade Land Conservancy, Green USA, Project for Public Spaces, and Smart Growth America to create and deliver technical assistance programs to local and tribal governments facing land use and development challenges. The awardees will provide technical assistance to multiple communities using standardized, "ready to go" tools that can lead to changes in local policies and development regulations.
These awards were made in response to a competitive request for proposals titled "Technical Assistance Programs for Sustainable Communities" (EPA-OP-OSC-11-01). Submissions for that RFP were due March 31, 2011.
