Once a local sustainability plan is finalized, communities can face challenges to implementation. The Sustainable Communities Accelerator Network (SCAN) is a new national peer learning network that support teams as they move an idea from paper to action. The program is offered in collaboration with the Smart Growth Network. SCAN program is designed for leaders in the environmental, land use planning, and sustainability fields. As a participant, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Develop relationships and explore opportunities to collaborate and problem-solve with leaders in your field from across the nation.
- Hear from national experts and explore new models related to sustainability and land use from across the country and assess how these models might work in your own community.
- Move your community’s priorities from planning document to action with support from program facilitators and peers.
- Share your expertise and experiences on a national scale and receive recognition for your efforts to advance environmental goals.
Each community may nominate a team of up to two leaders to participate. The community must be prepared to undertake a specific project, action or policy that prioritizes sustainability in their local community.
EPA will hold an informational webinar about the program and how to apply on October 29.
