About CT NEMO

NEMO (Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials) was created in the early 1990’s to provide information, education and assistance to local land use boards and commissions on how they can accommodate growth while protecting their natural resources and community character. The program was built upon the basic belief that the future of our communities and environment depend on land use, and, since land use is decided primarily at the local level, education of local land use officials is the most effective, and most cost-effective, way to bring about positive change.

The CT NEMO website has a wealth of information to help you apply sound land use principals that protect natural resources while providing for the economic growth of your community. The website covers the broad range of NEMO projects, from our local work with municipalities in Connecticut, to our watershed and regional programs, to our GIS and research projects. The site is continually growing and being updated, so bookmark the site and visit often.
