Special Smart Growth Technical Assistance Projects
In addition to our Smart Growth Implementation Assistance program, EPA's Development, Community, and Environment Division sometimes works on special technical assistance projects with other partners. Some of these projects include:
Assistance to Iowa communities affected by floods and tornadoes in 2008: EPA and FEMA's work with the Rebuild Iowa Office and Iowa Department of Economic Development to provide technical assistance for Iowa communities that have been affected by natural disasters.
Atlantic Steel Site Redevelopment Project: Information about how EPA helped Atlantic Station, a redevelopment project in Atlanta, show that its smart growth measures would help reduce its air pollution, among other environmental benefits.
Smart Growth Index: A past EPA technical assistance program that developed a GIS sketch model to simulate alternative land-use and transportation scenarios and evaluate their outcomes using indicators of environmental performance. This program is no longer active, but the materials remain available.
