Other factors that influence growth rural towns in Idaho oSlow rural economy oLess concern about design, more concern about function oLack of understanding about how function and design interact oLess willingness to buck the system oThe highway runs through it

oTransportation system overloaded, especially during commute oAffordability for long time residents and service workers oProtecting their economic resource, usually a view shed Different needs for different rural towns The Resort Community

oLess likely to impose restrictions on development oWilling to put up with the consequences of new growth for jobs Different needs for different rural towns oResource economy very slow The Resource Dependent Town

oDisconnect between new residents expectations of services and what’s available oLoss of small town character Different needs for different rural towns oResidential growth dissipates the traditional tax base and erodes economic support of agriculture The Bedroom Sprawl Communities

TVF team lead each community in a two to four month design process. Community issues and goals were discussed and incorporated with the goals of the TCSP Program. One to three day design workshops were held with hands-on activities to create alternative land use and transportation plans for the sites. Follow-up activities by the TVF team and communities have included Comprehensive Plan reviews and amendments, ordinance language proposals, developer contact, formation of action committees among others
