• Making Great Communities Happen
  Issues related to land use and community development can be complex. They involve a multitude of actors both public and private. This talk provides an overview of the “who, what, where, when, how and why” of land use in Wisconsin and what it takes to make great communities happen.
• Wisconsin's Planning Landmarks
  Wisconsin is home to numerous “first in the nation” land use planning innovations — rural zoning, the Great River Road, rails to trails, greenbelt communities, soil conservation, nationally significant land use court decisions, and more! This program will explore these important historic landmarks.
