| Volunteer Planning Team Assists City of Mandeville A five-member volunteer planning team visited Mandeville, Louisiana, at the request of the city's planning department to offer assistance with post-hurricane recovery planning work. The team worked with the city's planners March 5 through 10. APA's Planning Assistance Team was made up of expert planners who volunteered their time to help Mandeville continue its post-hurricane recovery and establish the foundation for guiding future development within the city. The team's priorities for the weeklong visit included satisfying the increasing demand for a variety of housing and complying with FEMA flood standards while maintaining the historic context of old Mandeville. The team released a 60-page report of its findings the week after its visit.
