EPA will provide technical assistance to successful applicants as described below. <br /> <br />Eligible entities are tribal, tocal, regional, and state governments and nonprofit organizations that have a demonstrated <br />partnership with a governmental entity. Development practices that reflect the principles of smart growth support <br />national environmental and public health goals by protecting sensitive watersheds, minimizing water quality impacts <br />from development, reducing air emissions by increasing transportation choices, lowering greenhouse gas emissions <br />through more compact development patterns, and encouraging clean-up and sustainable redevelopment of brownfields. <br /> <br />Smart growth is often characterized by a common set of principles: <br /> <br />. mix land uses; <br />. take advantage of compact building design; <br />. create a range of housing opportunities and choices; <br />. create walkable neighborhoods; <br />. foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place; <br />. preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas; <br />. strengthen and direct development towards existing communities; <br />. provide a variety of transportation choices; <br />. make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective; and <br />. encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions. <br /> <br />The application deadline is May 8, 2008.
