Citizens Can Prevent Detrimental Development: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT & CITIZEN PETITION PROCESS IN MINNESOTA
Each year development continues to encroach upon open spaces
in Minnesota. Regardless of where you live, you can probably think of a
development nearby that was constructed on land that was degraded by the
construction, such as wetlands or special animal habitat. In order to build,
the developer must submit documentation of the plan and, if necessary, conduct
an environmental assessment that must be approved before construction.
Sustainable Community Development: A new approach to meeting the challenges of communities
According to the Office of Environmental Assistance, "a sustainable community can persist over generations, enjoying a healthy environment, prosperous economy and vibrant civic life. It does not undermine its social or physical systems of support. Rather, it develops in harmony with the ecological patterns it thrives in."A sustainable community meets its present needs without sacrificing the needs of future generations by developing attitudes and actions that strengthen its economic, environmental, and social frameworks.
