David Doyle, Sustainable Communities Coordinator, U.S. EPA, Region 7 Many communities around the country are asking for tools and resources to help them achieve their desired development goals, improve the quality of life for their residents, and make their communities more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. In response to this demand, EPA developed the Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program. Building Blocks seeks to provide quick, targeted technical assistance to communities using a variety of tools that have demonstrated results and widespread application. This technical assistance helps selected local and tribal governments implement development approaches that protect the environment, improve public health, create jobs, expand economic opportunity, and make communities more livable. The panelists present an overview of the tools being offered and a summary of the experiences over the first two rounds of this program, and also provide information on how to apply for technical assistance in the future.
