***PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE***

 Members of Planning Commissions and Boards of Zoning Appeals are often called upon to make important decisions that affect a community’s physical, social and economic development. The issues they address and the tools and techniques at their disposal to guide growth and development are becoming increasingly complex. The objective of Training for Planning Officials is to equip citizen planners and community leaders with the technical knowledge and leadership skills necessary to successfully plan vibrant communities.

 

This course consists of two parts. Part I introduces you to the foundations of planning in the State of Georgia, specifically the Atlanta region. This includes a historical basis of land use planning and regulation, an overview of the legal environment in which planning is conducted, in-depth information on local and regional planning tools and demographics of the region. Part II reviews key tools of water resource and transportation planning, then gives valuable information on how to take all of this information and use it to make effective planning commission decisions.
