State Growth Management and Open Space Preservation Policies, PRP 143

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) was the sponsor for the State Growth Management and Open Space Preservation Policies project. As Congress's agency for undertaking policy research on issues of national concern, CRS approached the LBJ School to explore the opportunity for joint research initiatives. This PRP was one of two sponsored by CRS in the 2001-2002 academic year. We believe that this initial collaboration has been mutually beneficial and we look forward to additional projects in the future. It should be noted, however, that this report does not necessarily reflect the views of the CRS. The findings of this project will be reviewed and reworked by the CRS for its own purposes.
