Community Opportunities
The values associated with Smart Growth communities encourage affordable, mixed income housing; higher density; and a vibrant, walkable community. These characteristics attract new home buyers and will accommodate the increasing growth in the Exit 2 area.

Smart Growth Principlesfor a Livable Community Mixed-income housing has been recognized as a means to leverage market
forces to provide a secure, high quality, well-maintained living environment while increasing affordable housing options for lower-and moderate-income households. As a result, mixing income housing has become a popular way to supply affordable housing options, increase density absorption in large planned developments, revitalize urban neighborhoods, and decrease the concentration of poverty in publicly assisted housing. When located close to job centers and services, mixed-income housing provides more than just another housing product, it embodies Smart Growth principles by reducing travel times and congestion, and producing a more livable community.
