Comprehensive Plan Training
DCAs Office Planning & Quality Growth is developing a training program for planners to provide step-by-step instruction and guidance in constructing local comprehensive plan in accordance with the Local Planning Requirements (DCA Rules Chapter 110-12-1). To be held annually, the multi-day training program called Community Planning Institute: Building Your Plan will become an integral component of the Departments Planning & Quality Growth educational offerings. The four-day program for local staff-planners, planning commissioners and other citizen-planners, locally elected officials, and consultants will be broken into two two-day segments addressing the topic matter detailed below. The first day of the training program is currently set, tentatively, for September 2008. The sessions will be held in Central Georgia at a location to be determined. Additionally, with the intention of providing local elected officials with a very basic level of planning education and marketing of the larger product, the training program will be supplemented by a rapidly portable and easily deliverable presentation to be held at conventions, conferences and local meetings around the state.
