Beyond the Basics

The Municipal Initiative

Sometimes "basic training" is not enough! The Academy offers additional workshops on a variety of land use topics delivered during the evening to various boards and commissions in your town. Workshop topics vary widely and are selected from the many offerings of CLEAR’s sister education programs. The workshops are free of charge, but the town is responsible for registration and securing a location. For more information contact Land Use Academy Instructor John Rozum at (860) 345-5225.
