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.
