The PlanNC workshops are titled: Preparing Streamlined Community Plans.
Additional workshops have been announced! The PlanNC Workshop: Preparing Streamlined Community Plans is schedule for August 31 and September 2. Additional, optional half day sessions will be held on September 7 and 9. there would be no cost to volunteer planners who agree to try and assist at least one community following the workshop. APA-NC would then attempt to match planners with communities requesting assistance in completing these state-mandated changes to the communities' existing or new comprehensive plans.
