Through the partnership, Mr. Savard is the main facilitator of the series titled ‘Fiscal Impacts & Design,’ that help communities and builders/developers to better position their communities and developments to 1) encourage more efficient and fiscally responsible developments; 2) attract investments, and knowledge workers and affluent retirees to immigrate in their region; and 3) help decision-makers to build more sustainable subdivisions and communities.
His work with the SCD concept has been accomplished through a partnership with Randall Arendt, well-known American planning author on Conservation design for subdivisions.
