The Martin County Conservation Alliance website seeks to inform residents about development projects and Comprehensive Plan amendments which threaten our special Martin County quality of life. Over the years, informed citizens have protected Martin County from "browardization" by standing firm for our Comprehensive Growth Management Plan (Comp Plan). Residents must join together again to stand by our Plan, or we risk repeating the costly South Florida history we see to our south and to our north. Together we've worked to avoid South Florida overdevelopment and its impacts on our schools, our roads, our libraries, and our taxes. With the economic recession, our Comp Plan’s value is proven: we have fewer foreclosures, lower unemployment, higher wages, less debt and lower taxes than our sprawling neighbors. The latest threats to Martin County involve adding urban uses and densities, intensities, outside the urban boundary. Our urban boundary has been key to preserving our Martin County difference. The value of our urban boundary can be easily seen by looking to our north and our south and reviewing the economics. Please become a member of the Martin County Conservation Alliance and stand with us. The state has gutted the Growth Management Act, so we must join together and act locally. It is our best hope of preserving our Martin County difference. Please see the links (to the left) to learn more and find out what you can do. Website by the Martin County Conservation Alliance, P.O.
