NYS DOS Webinar : Land Use Moratoria (1.5 Hours Training Credit)

A moratorium is a local enactment that suspends a landowner’s right to obtain development approvals while the local government considers changes to its regulations. Before enacting a moratorium, local officials should be aware of the circumstances in which a moratorium is the most appropriate action for a local government to take. This course looks at, among other things, the court cases that shaped the “rules” for adopting moratoria and the procedures local officials should follow in adopting moratorium laws.
