On Monday in Lansing, the Michigan Land Use Leadership Council meets for the first time to pursue its mission to "minimize the negative economic, environmental, and social impacts" of Michigans runaway sprawl. Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who has embraced solving sprawl as a central theme of her administration, will personally open the meeting and deliver the panels charge. The council represents the most prominent, state-sanctioned effort in three decades to confront the consequences of Michigans ever-spreading patterns of development.
