Lot Selection Part #6 - Infrastructure

Infrastructure:
“Green” building encourages building in developments that are served or near existing infrastructure (water and sewer). Not only does it make sense, the costs of a well and septic system adds significantly to the building budget. If water and sewer are not nearby a lot may not be feasible to be built on.

Proximity to local services is another consideration in selecting a lot for a “green” building project. There are points to be gained for selecting a lot with immediate access (1/4 to ½ mile) to community resources such as schools, churches, banks, post office, supermarket, transit and open space.

So far I bet this “green” building process might not be as strange as you thought. In fact, the lot selection things just plain makes sense.
