We received this note from a friend, and we think it is worth sharing with our readers. As it was written for another state, many may have missed it. Waterblogged is the place to share information which will be searchable.

While written for Illinois, this set of 13 4-page fact sheets on the broad range of community sustainability issues are broadly applicable.
Many of the fact sheets address low impact development, aquatic habitat conservation, conservation development, and other water quality aspects of smart growth. They are excellent, and most communities could benefit greatly from having publications like these to promote community sustainability. They really wouldn’t need to be modified to be usable in most locations.
More generally, you can search broadly around the web sites for www.nipc.org as well as www.growingsensibly.org and find many usseful resources.
