[Foodplanning] NEW: Toolkit on Economic Development and Health

[Heather Wooten]

The Land Use & Health project is pleased to announce a newest publication,
Economic Development and Redevelopment: A Toolkit on Land Use & Health.  

This toolkit is a primer for public health advocates who want to work with
local government to stimulate the development of new food retail or to
expand food access in low-income neighborhoods. You can download a free copy
at http:// <http://www.healthyplanning.org/> www.healthyplanning.org. 

Land Use and Health project staff is available to conduct trainings and
provide technical assistance to public health advocates and local government
officials.  In many cases, these trainings are free of charge. We have a
deep understanding of economic development and redevelopment processes,
policies, and strategies, and we are particularly knowledgeable about how
these tools can be used to address health disparities in low-income
communities.  

Visit the Land Use and Health website <http://www.healthyplanning.org/>  for
more information about training and technical assistance and to sign up for
our newsletter.  You may also give us a call at (510) 302-3308.  We look
forward to hearing from you and consulting on your local land use and
planning needs.
