1 Working together to leverage limited Funds ARAPAHOE COUNTY OPEN SPACES 10 County Budget Conference September 20, 2013 The Power of Partnerships 2013 SORP Conference 5/23/2014
2 Why Talk About Open Space? Communities around the country are learning that open space conservation is not an expense but an investment that produces important economic benefits Trust for Public Land 10 County Budget Conference 9/18/13
3 Why Talk About Open Space? Economic Benefits of Recreation, Tourism and Open Space State of Virginia Outdoors Plan 2007 Economic Benefits of Open Space Preservation Office of the State Comptroller State of New York 2010 The Economic Benefits of Open Space, Recreation Facilities and Walkable Community Design Active Living Research Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Budget Conference 9/18/13
4 Why Talk About Open Space? While those working in the natural resource and parks and recreation fields have known the importance of natural resources for years, it is becoming better known by other professions and politicians that these resources contribute both directly and indirectly to quality of life and to economic viability of all communities across the Commonwealth. State of Virginia Outdoors Plan County Budget Conference 9/18/13
5 Why Talk About Open Space? While the environmental and recreational benefits of open space preservation are readily apparent, the many economic benefits are often less evident When these benefits, also known as ecosystem services, are overlooked, open space protection may be considered an expense rather than an investment that can mitigate property tax increases, leading to land use decisions that do not accurately weigh cost and benefits. Economic Benefits of Open Space Preservation Office of the State Comptroller State of New York County Budget Conference 9/18/13
6 Why Talk About Open Space? Parks tend to increase the value and sale price of homes and property located nearby. In addition, the amount of local tax dollars required to operate and service recreation areas may be less than for other types of land use, such as residential developments, further increasing the fiscal impacts they have on municipal governments. Active Living Research Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Budget Conference 9/18/13
