"I carry two hats, one as a champion of small-scale projects such as developing green buildings in lower-income communities for persons earning less than 50% of the county’s median income, [see article], and the other as a county official responsible for developing long-range plans that protect the values and functions of what we classify as (ESU) evolutionary significant units, i.e.: Summer Chum species that have recently been ESA-listed as well as the world’s largest Oyster Hatchery. Less well-known are Jefferson County’s attempts to shape development using the ‘best available science’ in low impact development enforced through innovative development regulations and a long-range visioning process that looks beyond the short term to address intergenerational issues of equity. As such, a topic that I would enjoy would be ‘Policy-making Affecting the Ecological Footprint of the Built Form in Washington State’." |
