2012Wellington PARTNERS WITH FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING TO WORK TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE WELLINGTON
The Village's Economic Development Initiative team expects to have recommended changes ready for Council and public hearing review in late 2009. Approved changes would become part of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.
Sustainable development is "environmental, economic or community development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" explained Director of Planning, Zoning and Building Marty Hodgkins.
The school will work with Village staff to explore ways to ensure that a Twenty-first Century Wellington continues to be a vibrant and healthy community for generations to come. A "Greening" of local government practices will be one of the first changes residents can expect to see. The Village has established its own internal "Go Green Team" to shepherd in some of the initial changes.
