The University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research's Land Use Academy provides education for local land use commissioners on the basic skills needed to support sound decision making. The core course covers roles and responsibilities of commissions, legal requirements and map reading. The Academy is a made-in-Connecticut-for-Connecticut educational program. [Learn More]
The Land Use Academy “basic training” is comprised of three courses offered in a one-day workshop: Roles and Responsibilities, Legal Requirements and Map Reading. Commissioners who complete all three courses earn a certificate to document their commitment to better land use decision making.
In response to feedback from both professional planners and land use commissioners, we are offering an all-day advanced course that includes the following sessions, "Running a Meeting and Making a Decision", "Conditions and Modification" and "Bias, Pre-disposition and conflics". This training will include plenty of time for audience participation, questions and observations.
