Contra Costa's Urban Growth Boundary
Contra Costa Times columnist Theresa Keegan discusses Conta Costa's urban growth boundary. The goal should not be where Contra Costa grows, but how it grows -- slowly.
Throughout Contra Costa there will be much ado about a line next week. But don't think the ramifications of the county's urban limit line will fade once the supervisors decide its fate. This boundary, which declares some land as off limits for development, and which may be shifted, is not the be-all and end-all to our growth challenges. Theresa Keegan is a columnit for the Contra Costa Times.
