Land Use Planning: An Informative CD for Communities Concerned with Water Quality

Griffith. Harmon. Hilton. Port Roosevelt. If these communities are unfamiliar to you, it’s because they are fictitious places.

Although based on New York State communities, much of the content of this CD is generic enough to be used or adapted by educators in other locations. This CD provides basic information on land use planning as it relates to water quality concerns and provides four planning scenarios based on four fictitious but representative New York State communities and accompanying PowerPoint presentations.

The target audience for the CD includes local decision makers such as planning board and zoning board members as well as extension educators.
