The Smart Growth Perspective We incorporate “smart growth” strategies which refers to a new way of thinking about how communities and settlements grow and develop. Many previous patterns of growth and development have proven to be harmful to the environment, overwhelming to local communities and fiscally irresponsible. In addition, they have placed strain on government and private resources to invest and manage capital. Smart growth policies and practices in many circumstances enhance real estate value and benefit communities over the long term by decreasing the burden on society to pay for high infrastructural costs. In particular:
Efficiency is at the core of smart growth. At the community level, careful zoning and planning can decrease the cost of building and maintaining roads, electrical grids, water and waste treatment plants. The annual cost of providing basic services like police and fire protection, school buses, emergency medical coverage, trash collection and utilities are also minimized. |

Sustainable Home Development Building a residence or vacation home on an island is one of the easiest and smartest places to take advantage of the environment and culture. Sustainable design has proven to be the most cost effective and durable method of development in these beautiful but harsh and expensive construction and maintenance environments. Green Island has partnered its development knowledge and experience with leading architects and contractors to create attractive, comfortable and cost effective sustainable home designs created specifically for on-island implementation. |

We typically begin this process in a consultative mode in order to understand and insure our development model fits your site and needs. Our services include:
