SCARBOROUGH LEADER • April 12, 2023
Among seven broad strategic goals identified by the Scarborough Town Council at the start of the year was one in the area of sustainability, conservation, and climate change: “Develop a plan to conserve more land in Scarborough and better integrate conservation and sustainability principles into our planning processes.” “Scarborough’s rich natural resources, unique amenities, and high quality of life make it a desirable place to live, work, and explore,” said Randi Hogan, Conservation Commission chair. “Over the past decade, significantly more land in Scarborough has been developed than conserved. Given the rate of growth in town, we’d like to see land conservation keep pace with development.”
