Grassroots Strength:  ULI Announces Seven Winners in the Semi-Annual Awards for Community Action Grants

Seven grants have been awarded in the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) semi-annual funding of its community action grants program. 

  A $25,000 grant has been awarded to ULI Baltimore’s Regionalism Committee and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) to conduct three workshops for regional planning directors, their associates, and county executives to focus on the issue of sustainability as it relates to region-wide smart growth planning and greater efficiency in vehicle miles traveled. The workshops aim to raise the level of awareness about climate change, and will include a presentation of the ULI publication Growing Cooler, discussion of associated topics, and hands-on exercises during which participants will prepare a “cool growth transect map” for the Baltimore region.
