ECHS Smart Growth Presentations

ECHS Smart Growth Presentations

Juniors in the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School presented their Smart Growth projects to panelists from the City of Troy, Town of Malta Town Board, University at Albany faculty, and the Capital District Regional Planning Commission at Hudson Valley Community College's North Campus on Thursday, March 20th.  

For this project, based on their research of the principles of Smart Growth, students analyzed the threats and opportunities associated with population growth, identified the evidence-based benefits of Smart Growth, and designed a model of their redesigned community space related to the community demographic data they collected.  Students did this for a geographic area in the region, including the Town of Malta, Town of Milton, Wilton, Village of Ballston Spa, Clifton Park, and Schuylerville.  Students presented to the panelists and received expert feedback on their redesign.  For more information on the Early College High School program, please contact ECHS Program Coordinator, Adrienne Snow, asnow@bscsd.org.
