Opportunity Knocks: Open Space as a Community Investment

This publication discusses topics related to open space, farmland, community character, quality of life, taxes and development and how all of these elements are intertwined. Municipalities have come to realize that many of the costs of development are borne by the community rather than the developer. It is important that municipalities identify goals related to the conservation of land resources and consider the impacts of development on community services.
