Smart Growth progress indicator development project
IMP_0443
The purpose of this contract is to facilitate a collaborative process to select and develop a set of regional indicators that evaluate whether local and regional entities across Puget Sound are successfully encouraging smart growth and protecting ecologically important habitats and working lands from conversion. These indicators will serve as our measurement tools for evaluating successful implementation of Action Agenda Strategy #1 (Smart Growth). They serve as an adaptive management and accountability tool for raising awareness and mobilizing support among policy makers and funders about the outstanding need for improvements in growth management and habitat protection, which is critical to achieving the region’s Puget Sound recovery goals (PSC202350).
