I received an email from Ed Gorski of Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) about a new tool that they’ve developed so we can see where development is planned to occur. This is a great source of information as we keep an eye on critical habitats across our county.

Here’s an excerpt from Ed’s email with the link to their new tool. Enter your address and see what’s happening around you:

As new roads and houses pop up, have you ever wondered what development is proposed near your home? PEC’s new website LocalDecisions.org combines Google Maps with county planning data to answer just that question. Enter a town or zip code, review specifics, talk with neighbors and quickly send an email to elected officials.
