GORE ANNOUNCES BUILDING LIVABLE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE

Vice President Al Gore today (June 9) announced a 30-point Livable
Communities Initiative to offer more choices to communities seeking to
improve their quality of life.  The Initiative represents a package of
policy actions plus a set of voluntary partnerships with communities across
the country.

The initiative includes topics such as expanding transportation choices,
creating parks, protecting the environment, increasing public safety, and
investing in education.  It covers areas from revitalizing cities, to
reducing congestion, to protecting farmland. As part of the initiative,
Gore said the federal government is entering into voluntary partnerships
with 15 communities across the country to demonstrate how the federal
government can best align its resources to support local goals.  In these
areas, federal efforts will be coordinated across agency lines 

* providing more seamless service and simplifying access to federal
programs. Each community's priorities and goals will drive the
partnership.

Sustaining Prosperity, Improving Quality of Life, Building a Sense of
Community" at <http://www.livablecommunities.gov/report2k.htm>.
