December, 2003 Dear Friend,
Thank you for your participation in the 2003 Smart Growth Summit . The event was an unprecedented success, drawing more than 500 people representing government, development, business, non-profit and other Long Island leadership. Ten towns were represented, with five Town Supervisors actively participating in our morning plenary. Ten interactive workshops engaged participants in helping build the solid foundation of facts, interests, and ideas that will guide future development on Long Island. We are now working on the detailed follow-up document that will serve as our action agenda in 2004. Major items emphasized in our preliminary analysis include the need for: • Coordinated approaches to address obesity and other health issues impacted by the way we structure our built environment • Improved coordination of transportation and land use policies at Town and State levels • Recommendations to meet sewer and infrastructure needs • New approaches to public education on and marketing of affordable housing • A serious proposal for regional planning and coordination of local efforts We will be calling on you to help refine this agenda and to make a solid investment in the future of Long Island. We are now accepting nominations for our next major event, the 2004 Smart Growth Awards. Nominations will be considered on the basis of a broad matrix of Smart Growth criteria. Sponsorship packages are available. Your leadership on Smart Growth supports of development that will be economically, environmentally and socially viable, well into the future. To request more information or discuss new opportunities to get involved, please contact Eric Alexander at 631-261-0242. Together, we are addressing Long Island's most critical issues, increasing opportunities for Smart Growth Island-wide. Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Eric Alexander Director
Ron Stein President
