Smart Planning Webinar
ISAC, Iowa League of Cities, Iowa Association of Regional Councils, and
ISU Extension collaborated on a one-hour “Iowa Smart Planning
Webinar” for city and county officials and planning and zoning
commissioners on Wednesday, July 7 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The Iowa
Smart Planning Law was passed by the
Iowa
legislature and signed by the Governor in April. Gary Taylor of ISU
Extension discussed the key elements of the law, the implications of
the law on planning and zoning in
Iowa
cities and counties, and lessons we may be able to learn from other
states that have adopted similar laws over the past 20 years.
Among other things, the law created a Smart Planning Taskforce to make
recommendations for improving local comprehensive planning. Mr.
Taylor, who is also a member of the Taskforce, provided his insights
into the work that the Taskforce must undertake before November 15, when
its report is due to the Governor and the legislature.
