Presenters: Alfredo Herrera & Sarah Hurley, CT GIS Office
With the passage of Connecticut Public Act 25-1, An Act Concerning Housing Growth, the CT GIS Office has been tasked with developing tools and guidance to support municipalities in preparing local Housing Growth Plans and determining developable land inventories, as required by statute.
This presentation focuses on how statutory requirements are translated into mapping tools. We will highlight mapping guidance, analysis scenarios, a statewide data library, and targeted map viewers that support transparent and consistent approaches to identifying developable land. These resources are designed to align with statutory requirements while promoting comparability and accountability across municipalities. Please note, this session is not intended to serve as a step-by-step instruction on performing the developable land analysis. Rather, it explains how the CT GIS Office is translating statutory requirements into guidance, tools, and data resources that municipalities and COGs may use in their Housing Growth Plan development.
