Conference: Regional Planning Comes of Age
A groundbreaking conference exploring the promise and practice of regional land use planning in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states, on the 25th Anniversary of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan.
The conference will include plenary addresses and seminars on regional land use planning aimed at preserving natural and historic resources while strengthening communities in our dynamic and growing part of the country. Hon. Bruce Babbitt, Robert Yaro, and Doug Foy will deliver plenary addresses.
