May 12, 2006, RI Convention Center, Providence, RI.  The Narragansett Bay Research Reserve was a major sponsor for this event with the CTP Coordinator as a member of the steering committee. The Summit focused on specific tools for implementing the goals of new State Land Use Plan, Land Use 2025, which places a new and more urgent emphasis on the need for smarter growth including mixed-use growth centers and land conservation. The Summit convened over 500 stakeholders, including citizens serving on municipal boards and commissions, state officials, builders and developers as well as architects, engineers, consultants and nonprofit interest groups. Topics included an overview of development trends in Rhode Island, the new State Land Use Plan's proposed responses to these trends and the latest best practice tools for managing growth in a way that builds upon our existing assets, safeguards our environment and strengthens our economic competitiveness.
