Is your community about to undertake a comprehensive plan update, launching a plan update, or starting a plan for the first time? Learn about the latest thinking on what should be in a comprehensive plan in order to sustain the places in which we live, work, and play. Hear about the fresh, new ideas APA’s Comp Plan Standards Working Group is developing concerning process and content criteria that should guide comp plans and may eventually result in framing a plan accreditation process. This accreditation is aimed at sustaining places. Help members of the Working Group by providing feedback on their ideas and by working in teams to actually apply the standards to a number of real-world plans of various types. This all-day, highly interactive workshop is capped at 40 participants.
