LAND USE VISION<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Connections 2050 Land Use Vision defines a regional visualization for Centers-based development and the preservation of agricultural and natural lands. The Land Use Vision divides the entire region up into four layers: Infill and Redevelopment areas, Emerging Growth areas, Rural Resource Lands, and the Greenspace Network. Overlaid on these land use areas are over 125 Centers, which are points of more concentrated development around which new development should be focused.<\/SPAN><\/P>

GREENSPACE NETWORK<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Plan proposes linking and expanding the region\u2019s existing protected natural areas into a Greenspace Network, where parks, forests, meadows, stream corridors, and floodplains are joined together in an interconnected system. The Greenspace Network is based on the twin principles of protecting core natural resource areas and linking them with greenways to create a connected system of naturally vegetated open space spanning urban, suburban, and rural areas.<\/SPAN><\/P>

All Connections 2050 Long-Range Plan elements are available online at www.dvrpc.org/plan. The Plan has two primary documents: (1) The Connections 2050 Policy Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21027) identifies the vision, goals, strategies, and a summary of the financial plan. (2) The Connections 2050 Process and Analysis Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21028) provides a more detailed look at the Plan\u2019s outreach, background information, analysis, and financial plan.<\/SPAN><\/P>
