NC Planning Assistance Teams (NCPAT)

The Planning Assistance Team relies on chapter volunteers providing pro-bono expertise and support for planning efforts to support sound planning in communities with limited resources.

In 2019, the NC General Assembly, passed a overhaul of the state’s planning and development regulations, referred to as NC General Statutes Chapter 160D. These regulations included requirements for all NC communities to have development ordinances updated (160D, Part I) to include new language, organization and some planning provisions.
