Fall Community Planning Institute

The DCA Office of Planning, in partnership with the Georgia Planning Association, offers a series of classes called the Community Planning Institute to Georgia's planning commissioners, elected officials and local government staff. The Institute provides information about planning for land use, growth and development. This is especially helpful for those communities that will be updating their local comprehensive plan in the coming year. This class provides an overview of the importance of community planning, a review of Georgia's planning requirements, how to engage constituents, plan implementation tools, and other implementation tools such as zoning or form-based codes. The event features breakout sessions and takes place in several locations, offering CM credits through the Georgia Planning Association and American Planning Association.
