The economic boom, which began in 1992 and was the longest in U.S. history, helped to fuel economic expansion and growth across the commonwealth. While this is good news, economic and population growth over the past decade have also contributed to urban sprawl, loss of farmland and the degradation of natural, cultural and environmental resources impairing the health and well-being of communities across the commonwealth.  PowerPoint presentation from the meeting.
