RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Congressman David Price (NC-04) will host a Summit on Smart Growth and Development on Monday at the Research Triangle Foundation. 

Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), a leader in Congress on smart growth and related issues, will join Price and invited local government officials, business and environmental leaders, and grassroots activists to discuss smart growth principles and transportation infrastructure. 

They will address elements of a smart growth blueprint for the future, the appropriate role of the federal government, and how to finance future infrastructure.

However, as we progress into the 21st century, everything we take for granted today vanishes for future generations.  Why? Short answer: hyper-population growth!
