Describes existing inclusionary housing ordinances and programs, with a focus on those in Montgomery County, Maryland, Fairfax County, Virginia, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the states of California and New Jersey.

We have an opportunity now that we have not had in the past 25 years to develop some comprehensive planning so that we can continue to enjoy the environmental amenities that make it so nice to live in Tucson.

This report discusses the history of conservation planning and how we got to where we are today with these regional scale, ecosystem level habitat conservation plans and other similar types of projects.
