Environment & Development Committee of the Greater Grand Rapids Home Builders Association Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

The Environment and Development Committee consists of land developers, engineers, environmentalists, community planners, farmers, attorneys and government officials who concentrate on good environmental land development. The group was formed in 1992, and has produced The Residential Development Checklist for Environmental Concerns and Considerations for Open Space Development, both of which are widely used throughout West Michigan.
