SUMMARY:Webinar: Using GIS to Improve Planning Decisions\, part 1: Identifying Factors that Influence Rural Land Parcelization (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:GIS can be a valuable tool for providing information for planning decisions.  In this first of a two-part series\, we will look at the parcelization process in rural communities.  Parcelization\, or the division of land in smaller lots\, is highlighted as a critical step in the transformation of rural communities from places that rely on the landscapes perennial yield of raw natural resources to places that packages and sell the landscape itself for consumption and development. Understanding the relative influences of landscape factors on land division can assist decision makers in allocating land protection resources. This webcast is sponsored by the Wisconsin Chapter. \nRegister here:  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/576635219

SUMMARY:Leading Community Building Emerging Planning Concepts For Diverse Communities (CM | 2.0)
DESCRIPTION:This session will be a forum in which experiences in building more unified and integrated communities are shared and participants are given an opportunity for questions\, comments and feedback. \nThis forum contains two sections – a presentation and a panel discussion – on the tools and strategies that are most promising to respond to the problem of communities being perhaps diverse but still not integrated. It has been documented through numerous national studies that even within diverse jurisdictions housing\, schools and civic realms remain largely separated by race\, ethnicity and/or socioeconomics. This reality is both inequitable and costly (and no longer just a burden on some groups – it harms us all). OPEN has worked for over 40 years developing practical local solutions and we’d like to share our approach to tackling this issue\, describe a theoretical model and present case studies of integrated successes. We especially want feedback from you on how to expand the toolkit and strategies. \nTakes place in Room 113. \nRSVP to ecdc.nj@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Webinar: New Ideas for Bike-friendly Communities (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Bicycling is continuing to grow as a viable option for both recreation\, as well as transportation.  While many communities have enjoyed growth in recreational bicycling\, there are many trends for bicycle facilities that improve the climate for the bicycle as transportation. This webcast will explore new ideas for planning\, designing and implementing bicycle facilities that planners can use right now in their communities.  Attendees will discover the qualities that define bicycle-friendly communities in Europe\, Canada and the United States.  Speakers will show examples of successful bike planning efforts and built bicycle facilities while discussing in detail the appropriateness of various solutions for a range of applications and plans.  The session will show how planning for bikes can be an integral part of a multi-modal transportation system.  Attendees will hear about two case studies\, one for a plan and implementation of a multi-use bike path in a downtown urban setting and another about how Indianapolis has created a city-wide bike network and achieved bronze level Bike-friendly Community recognition.  Attendees will learn how these communities worked with local stakeholders and planners to bring new ideas to successful implementation and take away new approaches that they can immediately use in their communities. \nThis webcast is sponsored by the Indiana Chapter. \nRegister Here:  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/790070123

SUMMARY:NJRA RTI Workshop: Municipal Incentives for Redevelopment - Tax Abatement (CM | 7.0)
DESCRIPTION:Tax abatements can be a powerful tool for municipalities to attract investments and redevelopment to their communities. This workshop will discuss the constitutional statues that authorize the granting of short and long-term tax exemptions and the procedural process for granting tax abatements for residential and commercial projects including establishing the PILOT payment. In addition\, the workshop will provide an opportunity to participate in the discussion on the pros and cons\, and the costs and benefits\, of tax abatements from different perspectives. HMFA and DEP tax abatement programs will also be discussed. \nProviding long-term tax exemption is an important municipal incentive to attract development but the key question is when municipalities’ should decide to use it. We will discuss the factors to consider when deciding whether or not to use tax abatements. The session will also discuss specific provisions in the municipal ordinances\, valuable terms in financial agreements\, and tactical strategies to avoid the potential public nightmare associated with granting tax abatements. An exercise will also be conducted to assess the potential economic and fiscal benefits of two projects. \nFor more info\, visit:  www.njra.us/rti

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Revitalized Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Speakers for this webinar will be from the U.S. EPA-Chesapeake Bay Office\, the State of Maryland Department of Planning\, and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.  Cleanup efforts have been underway since the early 1980s through a partnership between the states of Delaware\, Maryland\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, Virginia\, and West Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, and the U.S. EPA.  Within the last two years\, to meet legal requirements\, the EPA has taken a stronger role in directing cleanup efforts with equal but full emphasis on non-point sources\, point sources\, and air quality. State strategies have been submitted to EPA and the states are working with local governmental agencies including regional planning agencies in developing local watershed plans to meet EPA requirements.  The Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division will host this session.  A further webinar on this Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program with speakers from Pennsylvania\, Virginia\, and the EPA will be held in late July. \nClick here to register:  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/888461339
