Dear
Friends,
I
am pleased to have this opportunity to send greetings to each
of you attending Smart Growth 2003.
This
summit builds on the legislative and policy initiatives established
during previous Summits. Through your efforts today, the
opportunities for economic development and investments are broadened.
In order to stimulate economic growth and entrepreneurship, there
must be incentives for businesses, including innovative land use
and development and sound transportation policies. By participating
in this Summit, you recognize the imprtance county and town officials
and business development and non-profit leaders have in enhancing
smart growth development. Partnerships among the federal,
state and local governments, the public and private sectors, and
business and labor are more important than they have ever been.
The proposals created from the workshops and interactive sessions
can be implemented to benefit the entire development community.
Please
accept my berst wishes for a productive and successful summit.
Sincerely
yours,
Hillary
Rodham Clinton
United
States Senator
