Abstract
Growing Smarter Implementation Plan and Its Influence on Regional GrowthTrack: State and Local Government
Author(s): Chris Bruce, Don Worley
In 1998, Growing Smarter legislation was passed by the Arizona Legislature requiring cities and towns to create comprehensive plans for future growth. In response to this legislation, the Maricopa Association of Governments is developing a Regional Growing Smarter Implementation Plan to encourage a consistent regional approach for future growth and to create strategies and a policy framework to direct infrastructure development and open space areas. The end results will help local governments with their own general plan updates and identify necessary regional policies. GIS applications required to test the impact of growth strategies on congestion and transportation systems and other regional infrastructure needs and costs, schools, and open space will be discussed.
