The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) will be hosting three free workshops for municipal officials. The workshops are part of TLGV’s Sustainable Communities Program and will focus on the basic roles, responsibilities, and tools that municipal volunteers need to succeed in their positions.
All of the workshops are free but pre-registration is required: http://clear.uconn.edu/lua/tlgvseries.htm. For info call 774-3300.
Legal Responsibilities of Connecticut Land Use Boards will be Nov. 14; Roles and Responsibilities of Land Use Commissioners will be Nov. 28; and Map Reading and Low Impact Development will be Dec. 5. All of the workshops will run from 7 – 9 pm at the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, 5 Connecticut Ave., Norwich. The workshops will be taught by faculty from UConn’s Land Use Academy.
“TLGV is pleased to continue its long-standing commitment to good land use decision-making through these workshops,” commented Charlene Cutler, TLGV Executive Director. “We are also pleased to continue our partnership with UConn in providing high quality land use educational programs that further the goals of The Last Green Valley’s management plan.”
Vision 2020, the management plan for the National Heritage Corridor, emphasizes strategies for educating communities about land use planning, design, and controls such as creative zoning techniques that promote sustainable development compatible with the region’s natural and cultural resources.
