Planning board and zoning board of appeals members are required by state statute to obtain four hours of training a year. It is important local officials stay informed on planning and zoning issues, as their decisions directly impact their municipalities for decades to come.
If you have questions about a particular planning or zoning topic, or are seeking out generalized training for local officials, please contact us.
