V Project Summary <br />The students from the University of Minnesota came together with city council members and <br />residents of St. Anthony Village to initiate a sustainability vision and action plan for the community. <br />By incorporating the wishes of the community, the student's ideas on sustainability, and the four <br />principles adopted by the American Planning Association, the students personalized a well-rounded <br />plan that addresses the economy, equity, and environment of the community. The vision statement <br />is intended to provide an overarching goal to motivate the community, while the detailed goals and <br />strategies attempt to provide realistic benchmarks to achieve sustainability in the future. With goals <br />and strategies for transportation, energy use, waste, natural resources, landscaping, food, housing, <br />neighborhood development, and community engagement, St. Anthony Village will be more <br />sustainable in every facet of the community. With the Step 3 Green Step program completed and the <br />vision/action plan for sustainability, the community will maintain the high quality of life and well- <br />being for residents while also continuing to attract newcomers because it is engaged and proactive. <br />The action plan aims to incorporate sustainability into the foundation of St. Anthony Village, <br />bettering both the resident's lives and the environment which surrounds them. Although progressive <br />changes will be made, St. Anthony Village will still retain its small-town, village -like atmosphere <br />which residents strongly value. <br />. ain tho�ry 23 <br />Oa <br />
