| The Smart Growth Partnership of Westmoreland County
is a community-based private non-profit located at the Penn State Extension.
We believe that the land we use today is being borrowed from our
children and our children's children. Therefore we are guided by the principle that
communities need to make good long-term decisions about where, when and how they
should grow. We seek to encourage growth that improves the quality of life for our
current residents and businesses, but will also insure vibrant, high quality growth
for future generations in Westmoreland County. |
