The Land Use Program at the Sierra Nevada Alliance is excited to announce the 2009 Sierra Land Use Summit. A struggling economy combined with some of the strongest statewide smart growth legislation ever passed in California combine to create a new landscape for planning in the Sierra.

- New funding opportunities for smart growth planning and project implementation.
- Strategies for the creation of more sustainable local economies and environments.
