Recipients include the Wisconsin Farmland Conservancy for an innovative "liveable community" project in Menomonie, Wis. The project, entitled "The Liveable Community: A Model Development for a Small City," involves a 100-acre site in a growing community on the outskirts of Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The grant will allow the Wisconsin Farmland Trust to work with local zoning officials and other stakeholders in developing a design plan that reduces runoff and includes energy-efficient housing, smaller lot sizes, and homes available to low- and moderate-income families.
