Increasing numbers of Americans are fleeing cities and suburbs for
the small towns and open spaces that surround national and state
parks, wildlife refuges, historic sites, and other public lands.
With their scenic beauty and high quality of life, these "gateway
communities" have become a magnet for those looking to escape the
congestion and fast tempo of contemporary American society.Yet
without savvy planning, gateway communities could easily meet the
same fate as the suburban communities that were the promised land
of an earlier generation. This volume can help prevent that from
happening.The authors offer practical and proven lessons on how
residents of gateway communities can protect their community's
identity while stimulating a healthy economy and safeguarding
nearby natural and historic resources. They describe economic
development strategies, land-use planning processes, and
conservation tools that communities from all over the country have
found effective. Each strategy or process is explained with
specific examples, and numerous profiles and case studies clearly
demonstrate how different communities have coped with the
challenges of growth and development. Among the cities profiled are
Boulder, Colorado; Townsend and Pittman Center Tennessee;
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Tyrrell County, North Carolina; Jackson
Hole, Wyoming; Sanibel Island, Florida; Calvert County, Maryland;
Tuscon, Arizona; and Mount Desert Island, Maine."Balancing Nature
and Commerce in Gateway Communities" provides important lessons in
how to preserve the character and integrity of communities and
landscapes without sacrificing local economic well-being. It is an
important resource for planners, developers, local officials, and
concerned citizens working to retain the high quality of life and
natural beauty of these cities and towns.
