Monticello, NY – How can thoughtful planning and zoning shape vibrant and attractive rural communities? What is a Planning Board or ZBA’s role in this process?
The Sullivan County Division of Planning and Community Development invites local planning, zoning, and municipal officials as well as interested community members to an upcoming training workshop to explore these ideas. Representatives from the Department of State will lead two training sessions on Thursday, March 30 from 4-7:30 p.m. at the SUNY Sullivan Upper Hermann Library Conference Room – Building E, Room 220, in Loch Sheldrake. Light fare will be provided in between sessions for attendees.
“Our local government officials at the town and village levels often hold the keys to development, and smart growth depends on their ability to follow the law and properly guide their communities to a better future,” notes District 8 Legislator Ira Steingart, chair of the Legislature’s Planning Committee. “The County wants to empower them to make the best decisions possible for the municipalities they serve, because those choices will make our whole region a better place to live and work.”
Planning and zoning board members will receive NYS-required training credits. Please RSVP by Friday, March 24 so that your certificate will be available for pick-up at the event.
