As part of this initiative one or two day sustainability workshops will be conducted in 22 communities selected from among 121 applicants to the Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities program.

Since 2011 The Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities program has helped 130 communities in 41 states to, “implement smart growth and sustainable approaches that protect the environment, improve public health, create jobs, expand economic opportunity, prepare for the effects of climate change, and improve overall quality of life.”
