Developers, preservationists and other civil activists who often find themselves at odds witl one another over land use, property rights and con servation can find many points on which to agree according to land use planner and attorney Edward McMahon.
McMahon has suggested that growth ant preservation are not mutually exclusive and tha opposing factions need to stop focusing on th< issues that divide them.
“We don’t spend nearly enough time identifying what we agree on,” McMahon said.
McMahon, who spoke recently in Loudour County and will speak on May 21 ir Rappahannock, is director of the Americar Greenways Program at the Conservation Fund ir Arlington. With a conservationist’s perspective, h< acknowledges that “growth is inevitable,” bul points out that developers in search of a profit ar< not necessarily incapable of building houses, shop! and roads in ways that can satisfy common goals.
