Citizen Planner training Collaborative Workshop Scheduled
The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) will sponsor a Citizen Planner Training Collaborative (CPTC) workshop Thursday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m. at the Kittredge Center, Holyoke Community College. The session will immediately follow PVPC’s commission meeting.
Glenn Garber, an educator with UMass Extension, will conduct a workshop on Subdivision Control and ANR. The session is designed for planning, zoning, building, and conservation officials; municipal staff members who serve boards and planning departments; professional planners and others who consult with municipal boards; and citizens interested in land use and development issues in their communities.
The cost for this workshop and associated handout materials is $30. Advance registration is required by contacting CPTC at (413) 545-2188 or you can send an e-mail to the Citizen Planner Training Collaborative to register. For more information, please visit the Citizen Planner Training Collaborative website (note: the link will take you to a web site outside of the PVPC web site). There is no charge for PVPC commissioners and alternate commissioners.
CPTC provides local planning and zoning officials with tools to make effective decisions regarding their communities’ current and future land use. CPTC trainers are professional planners and attorneys with substantial experience in their fields and as workshop presenters.
