MSU program to teach land-use strategies
From Michigan State University News:
Some MSU researchers say effective land use can be the difference between life or death for a small community.
To help address this problem, organizers at the fourth annual MSU Land Use Summit will try to help Michigan communities plan for the future. The program will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday at the Kellogg Center.
...
This year's keynote speaker is Albert Ratner, co-chairman of Forest City Enterprises Inc., a real-estate company that provides land-use management strategies to cities across the country.[Director of the MSU Land Policy Institute Soji] Adelaja said the speakers, combined with MSU research presentations, will give small communities the knowledge they need to improve their land-use decisions.
NoLandGrab: Some enterprising student might want to ask Chairman Al if land use decisions are best handled at the local level, or if they should be rammed through by the state whenever possible?
