"Growing Together: Consensus Building, Smart Growth
and Community Change"
A video of the New
England Environmental Finance Center, followed by a facilitated discussion. A
Must-See for all local leaders, citizens and developers! Many communities in New
England and the across the country are finding the issue of “how to grow” can be
an extremely divisive one. Proposed development projects often pit town
boards against developers or different community interests against each other.
Planning board meetings can turn into “the battle of the experts,” characterized
by distrust and accusation. In this atmosphere, even projects aimed at
enhancing community values can have difficulty gaining support and approval.
This film provides encouragement to and guidance for communities that are
experiencing these challenges. It offers an alternative to the discord and
stalemate that too often occurs over how to approach community change – an
approach called consensus building.
