The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting applications for free technical assistance under the Smart Growth Implementation Assistance Program.  The program provides contractor support to communities, regions, or states that want help with either policy analysis or public participatory processes.  Selected communities will receive assistance in the form of a multi-day visit from a team of experts organized by EPA and other national partners to work with local leaders.  The application deadline is May 8, 2009, and applications can be found on the EPA website, which can be accessed by clicking here.
