The workshops, which are free and open to the public, utilize national leaders in their fields to promote discussion and collaborative action among participants that help lead to sustainable local development solutions.
Target groups include elected and appointed officials, planning and development professionals, developers and community development corporations, and students and professors from institutions of higher education.
Session I, "Fiscal Sustainability and Quality of Life", will be held at the Drake Conference Center, 151 W Galbraith Road, from 8 A.M. to noon. The session will cover the community effects of tax subsidies for business relocation.
Future workshops will cover best practices in business district redevelopment and universal design, a type of planning that considers all phases and abilities of human life.
