The meeting will include a presentation on the work of the New York–Connecticut Sustainable Communities Consortium, a collaboration of local governments and regional planning organizations. Discussion will also include Suffolk County’s efforts to accommodate population growth while protecting natural resources through transfer of development rights programs.

The New York-Connecticut Sustainable Communities Consortium is a partnership working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies to create economic opportunity, housing options, transit and a better quality of life for you and your community.

Learn how the partnership is working to expand job and housing opportunities; Suffolk and Nassau are participating as part of this effort; to obtain preferred status for federal grant applications; and how you can get involved.
