Land use decisions
can have widespread environmental impact.
The way our communities grow and develop can directly affect the health
of current and future generations. Residential and commercial development
can have huge impacts on regional air and water quality, wildlife, transportation,
noise and pollution.
Well-planned development
can have a positive impact on public health by encouraging exercise, promoting
safety, utilizing natural resources sensibly and enhancing the quality
of life.
Tri-County Health
Department collaborates with local governments, other agencies, developers,
and the public to incorporate public health considerations into planning
and development activities. We encourage the inclusion of public health
policies in master plans and provide public health input on development
applications.
