Category: General
Published: 2/3/2008
Like other primarily rural counties in Upper East Tennessee, Greene County faces many growth-related challenges in the years ahead. In recognition of the fact that the quality of life of the citizens of Greene County will be impacted by the success or failure to achieve an appropriate balance between development and the protection of natural resources, local officials and community leaders made the decision to develop a strategy to proactively address land use issues at the “Better Site Design” level. At the heart of this effort was a series of four Growth Readiness Workshops that were held in late 2006 and early 2007. A report summarizing these workshops is now available for download (pdf). |
