Low Impact Development in the Connecticut Mirror

The Connecticut Mirror has a beautifully comprehensive story about how so-called low impact development is and is not being used in Connecticut, and why. It's an excellent primer on the issue of LID (although I would have liked a couple of sentences about the difference it can make to water quality).

I've only recently become aware of the Connecticut Mirror, which is a non-profit public affairs news source staffed by experienced pros, some of whom, I think, were probably downsized by the Hartford Courant. The low impact development story was written by Jan Ellen Spiegel, who isn't listed as a staff writer but is freelancing stories for them, mainly about the environment. That's good news.
