Elmina B. Sewall Foundation Awards Grant
The Elmina B. Sewall Foundation recently awarded a grant to º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) for a project titled, “The º£½ÇÉçÇø Futures Community Mapper: Fostering Economic Growth and Healthy Landscapes for º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Communities”. The project is an extension of an SSI project where researchers have worked for several years with º£½ÇÉçÇø economic development, conservation, forestry, and agriculture leaders to identify strategic land use opportunities and potential conflicts. Using the Sewall funds, the team will use these results to begin development of a web-based planning tool for communities and land trusts to better balance conservation with economic development.
