First Annual Compass Blueprint Awards

Recognizing innovative planning that enhances local and regional livability

On May 24, 2007 SCAG hosted the Seventh Annual Regional Housing Summit. As part of this event, SCAG presented awards to recognize the great planning and development work occurring throughout the region.  These plans and projects coordinate land use and transportation actions, demonstrate excellence in planning and design, and most importantly, work towards improving the mobility, livability, prosperity and sustainability of our region.

For more information on the awards and the recognized projects, please download the awards ceremony program (4.5 MB PDF). We would also like to hear about other projects that meet the awards criteria and may be candidates for awards next year.
