Atlanta, Georgia Environmental Compliance Lawyers
The impact of rapid growth and sprawling development on the environment in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina has received a lot of attention in recent years. It is not surprising, because the facts are shocking. According to The New Georgia Encyclopedia:
- Atlanta has lost an average of 50 acres of tree cover per day since 1987
- Atlanta is the least densely populated metropolitan area in the country
- Georgia ranks third in the nation in the acreage of farmland and woodland being converted to subdivisions, malls and other developments
Fortunately, the news is not all negative. Georgia has established a Community Green Space Program with a goal of preserving 20 percent of the state's land as green space, and Atlanta has taken steps to promote smart growth development. Comparable programs are also underweigh in Alabama and South Carolina.
In addition, there are land and property developers who are committed to doing the right thing.
