How can citizens affect zoning and land development decisions in their communities?
We recognize that zoning and land development permits affect the quality of life for the surrounding communities. These decisions are made by municipal governments and zoning hearing boards every day, often without scrutiny or input from those who may be affected. What most concerns neighbors and nearby residents about development? How can citizens engage townships and municipalities in forward-looking zoning ordinances and land use permits? What mitigation measures are municipal officials and developers likely to consider? We plan to cover all these issues at the Clean Air Board community meeting on Sept. 21. Join us via Zoom?
