<br />H. TDR Program Manager Case Studies (Implementation Phase)
<br />The Project Team utilized case studies in the initial feasibility phases of work to help
<br />explain key concepts to the Stakeholder Committee and the interested public. During
<br />the development of program and administrative design concepts, a second round of
<br />case studies was conducted that focused exclusively on county-managed TDR
<br />programs, especially those that adhered to free-market approaches with limited
<br />government intervention between buyers and sellers of development rights. The
<br />following five TDR programs are reviewed in this section:
