The Development, Community and Environment Division in U.S. EPA's Office of Policy, Economics and Innovation is seeking applications from communities that want to develop in ways that meet environmental and other community goals.

Communities selected will work with a team of multidisciplinary experts that will work with local leaders to provide technical assistance to help with either policy analysis (e.g., reviewing state and local codes, school siting guidelines, transportation policies, etc.) or public participatory processes (e.g., visioning, alternatives analysis, build-out analysis, etc.).

For more information and application materials, please go to EPA’s Smart Growth Assistance webpage.
