In this edition of the “Advanced Topics” series, a group of experienced zoning practitioners – from across the land use ‘spectrum’ (applicants’ attorneys; board attorneys; in-house) – will talk about what they’ve learned over the years: land use practice, procedures, policy, practice, family management, the politics of development, and what it takes to keep clients happy. Perhaps a war story or two!

We hope for some valuable insights and an entertaining two hours. Register today!
