As the first Cascade Agenda Leadership City, Tacoma has acknowledged that quality of life, a strong economy and a healthy environment are mutually beneficial and interdependent—one cannot have one without the other.

Tacoma and T-Dome

The City of Tacoma and the Cascade Land Conservancy formed a partnership in 2007 to focus on policies, education and outreach that will make Tacoma even more livable in the future.

The Cascade Agenda Cities Program enlists the region’s cities to improve the livability of their neighborhoods—making them complete, compact and connected—and spectacular enough for people to choose to live there, saving the region’s natural and working lands from poorly planned development.

Examples of Policies that Tacoma is working on to improve its livability include:

 

Current Work between cascade Agenda Cities and Tacoma

Neighborhood Outreach - the Cascade Agenda Cities Program has made presentations at six of the eight neighborhood councils in the spring and summer of 2008.  The presentations have focused on Regional growth patterns and opportunities for neighborhoods to think about how they grow and maintain quality of life.  View Presentation.

Additional Work Between CLC and Tacoma

The City of Tacoma is involved in Green Tacoma partnership, a public private partnership between the City of Tacoma, Metro Parks, Tahoma Audubon Society, Cascade Land Conservancy, citizens, educational organizations, neighborhood groups, non-profits, faith-based organizations and businesses.  This coalition is working closely with the City to develop an Open Space Habitat Plan that will map out a citywide restoration and management plan for all natural areas within the City of Tacoma.

CLC has also worked closely with the City of Tacoma to conserve open space within the City of Tacoma, helping to make Tacoma even more livable.
