Open space conservation is not an expense, but an investment that produces important economic benefits. Whereas housing developments entail costly public amenities such as police, fire, ambulatory, roads and other infrastructure, schools and more, open space parcels remain passive and require no such expenditures. Moreover, an effective open space program provides a balance to development and protection to those areas that contribute greatly to Southington’s character.
