Connecticut

Summary: Connecticut’s Conservation and Development plan outlines six growth management policies that aim to coordinate future development and to provide valuable planning resources for municipalities across the state. These six principles outline, among other considerations, the need to redevelop and revitalize areas with existing infrastructure and to concentrate development around transportation hubs and corridors.

In 2008, the state senate passed SB 39, calling for the establishment of a Responsible Growth Cabinet to review “regionally significant projects” and to ensure that all future development occurs according to the six growth management principles.

In 2009, the General Assembly adopted SB 371 mandating intermunicipal and regional cooperation in the planning process for transportation and land-use planning related projects.
