PMPEI: A Course in Community Planning
Upper Allen Township Municipal Bldg 100 Gettysburg Pike, MechanicsburgNew and experienced planners and municipal officials should attend to learn their responsibilities under the
PA Municipalities Planning Code. Topics include basic knowledge of the PA Municipalities Planning Code, comprehensive planning, plan implementation including zoning, subdivision and land development regulations, the Official Map, and how effective planning commissions work together. Multi-municipal planning and implementing planning agreements will be emphasized. A planning exercise based on Marcellus Shale natural gas exploration is included in this course.
Creating an Implementable Comprehensive Plan (3.0 CM)
Ramada Conference Center 1450 South Atherton St, State CollegeThe 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.
