Tools for Community Design and Decision Making
Since the fall of 1998, the US Department of Energy, in partnership with a number of other organizations, has helped organize four national meetings on Tools for Community Design and Decision Making (TCDDM). These meetings included community practitioners working in the areas of land use planning and community development; tool providers developing state-of-the-art decision support tools or fine tuning tools that have been available for many years; and foundations and public service agencies working to advance the development and utilization of planning support tools. Visit the website at http://www.i4sd.org/TCDDM/ to learn more about these meetings and tools that can help you build your community group.

EPA Watershed Initiative
As part of this community-based initiative, EPA will target up to 20 of the US's highly valued watersheds for grants. This program will support local communities in their efforts to expand and improve existing protection measures with tools, training, and technical assistance. EPA will be working with state governors, tribes, and other interested parties on this initiative. Visit http://www.epa.gov/owow/watershed/initiativefs.html for more information.
