On October 26^th, Kenneth Slater, Richard Roberts, and Mark Branse will be teaching the Advanced Land Use Training through the University of Connecticut’s Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) – Land Use Academy in Haddam.

With extensive experience dealing with local land use issues in Connecticut communities, they will cover three topics in depth: Bias, Predisposition and Conflicts; Implementing and Enforcing Land Use Decisions; and Running a Meeting and Making the Decision. Over the years, these topics have risen to the surface as issues that crop up continually in the life of a land use commission member.

CLEAR is housed within UConn’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources, and provides information, education and assistance to land use decision makers, in support of balancing growth and natural resource protection.

To register for the training, visit the UConn CLEAR website page.
