The purpose of the Green Growth Guidelines is to demonstrate how low impact development (“LID”) strategies can result in significant positive impacts on the environment while providing superior outcomes both socially and economically. Green Growth Guidelines outlines the environmental, social, and economic benefits from use of LID strategies when compared to today’s conventional development approach.
