Land Use Law Center has been active in the training of municipal officials for the past
11 years. The training program is designed to significantly benefit bG�rd members by
developing and reinforcing local land use decision-making skills and by providing board
members with strategic tools they need to address regional land use issues of critical
importance.
The one -day training program can be attended either on November 30, 2007 or
