Significance of having a vibrant community

The environmental protection agencies in the US actively support various environmental friendly initiatives. One such initiative is land revitalization which is done in different stages. The environmental protection agencies collaborate with other government and private agencies for the process of land revitalization. It takes various activities to advocate remediation and redevelopment of land, such as sharing best practices with the employees of different agencies, assessment activities of land or properties in neighborhoods, building communities for the purpose and collaborating with other communities.

Building a vibrant community for this purpose is the main step towards it. A vibrant community is the one which suggests a right approach for the individuals, organizations, thought leaders to connect and   work together for the cause in question. It provides resources and tools to propagate the idea on a wider spectrum. Propagating the concept of land revitalization requires building one such vibrant community to address the growing challenges of cleaning up and preservation of lands.
