About Essex County Forum

Since its inception in 1999, the Essex County Forum – "Smart Growth for Livable Communities”" has provided information, identified planning and conservation needs, and created a place to work together to promote the stewardship of our resources and make better decisions about how we grow.

 

 

 

 

Members of the Forum include state and local officials, professional planners, and every day citizens who want a future for their communities that balances growth and development with preservation of their natural, cultural, and historic resources.

 

 

 

Our strengths are our partnerships, independence and connections

to state and national efforts.
