Radnor Township Bldg 301 Iven Avenue, Wayne, PA, United StatesThe workshop will debunk the myth that PA planning law requires plans to be organized by functional chapters – land use plan, housing plan, etc. It will suggest that work sessions and plan chapters be built around a community's priority issues – whether revitalizing downtown, fixing a problem road corridor, becoming more walkable, or capitalizing on local history. The session will suggest creating detailed action plans, organizing implementation teams, and making plan implementation part of elected officials' regular business BEFORE the plan is finished.
