LID - Low Impact Development

MACC is a strong advocate of Low Impact Development (LID) practices.

LID consists of a range of development and retrofit options to decrease the environmental impact of the built environment, including parking lots, subdivisions, and individual homes. Options range from decentralized stormwater management to rain barrels for home garden watering and a lot more. The Web links below will lead you to a tremendous wealth of information on LID. In addition, MACC will add content to its own Web page over time.
