The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) provides incentives to municipalities engaging in multi-municipal planning. Developing a multi-municipal plan also provides a method for municipal leaders to enhance their community's future quality of life.
Multi-Municipal Planning Basics is a free program specifically for those interested in learning more about multi-municipal planning. Training content is based on the 'Growing Smarter' amendments to the Pennsylvania MPC and will cover a variety of topics including:
Bring a Training 'Buddy'
If you are interested by the prospect of multi-municipal planning as a tool for effective land use management in your community, then this program is for you. However, as the name implies, 'multi-municipal' means the participation of more than one municipality. Therefore, when registering for this free program, it is recommended that you bring at least one official from a neighboring community. Others from your community, including interested citizens, may also attend.
Even if you and your training 'buddy' haven't formally started work on a joint project, you will want to attend this training together. By attending with a neighbor, you will obtain the program's maximum benefit by being able to contemplate the 'real world' circumstance of your community and those that surround and impact you.
