About This Site
Dear Visitors:
Governor Spitzer created the Governor's Smart Growth
Cabinet by Executive Order in December 2007. The Cabinet
consists of representatives from all state agencies
that affect land use. The Department of State's Division
of Local Government works with the state agencies and
local governments to carry out the Governor's vision
for Smart Growth.
The Smart Growth Clearinghouse Web Site was created
to connect New Yorkers with state agency services that
promote Smart Growth and other sources of information
on Smart Growth. The Clearinghouse provides and easy-to-use
directory of relevant state agencies, with brief descriptions
of their services and links to appropriate agency web
site pages.
The Web Site is generally organized around eight Smart
Growth principles (see icons at the top of this page
and the home page) and sorted by four sub-categories:
Grant and Financial Information; Technical Assistance
(training publication, events and other information);
Data and Regional Inventories; and Success Stories.
These sub-categories are then organized by several
topical areas, such as transportation, business, energy,
environment, planning and zoning.
Please forward comments and
suggestions on this web site to the
Smart Growth Clearinghouse Coordinator: QC@dos.state.ny.us.
