As part of the ongoing effort to create Envision Jefferson 2035, periodically we will be posting links to materials that help explain various planning and zoning concepts or existing materials related to concepts that are discussed at various workshops and meetings. While many of these can be found in the various pages related to the Brown Bag Lunch and Learn Series (by clicking on the Brown Bag Lunch and Learn icon on the top of the Envision Jefferson 2035 homepage and searching for the topic area you are interested in) we will occasionally be posting additional material that may be relevant to the planning efforts that are part of Envision Jefferson 2035. The first of these tools is the Vital Communities Toolbox created by the Tompkins County (NY) Planning Department. The toolbox provides a brief summary of numerous concepts that have been discussed at the various workshops that have been held so far, at Steering Committee meetings, or during the Brown Bag Lunch and Learn series and could be used as a jumping off point for learning more about these topics. The link to the toolbox is here

Learning about Planning Part 2: Utah APA Webinar Series
In the second of the series of posts about information sources that residents can visit to learn more about a wide variety of principles and concepts, one good source is the series of free webinars that the Utah chapter of the American Planning Association has hosted as part of the Certification Maintenance program for members of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). In a number of states, these webinars have also served to meet the Continuing Education requirements for planning and zoning board members. Typically 90 minutes in length, the webinars provides a jumping off point to learn about a variety of planning concepts and ideas are being used in a range of communities (ranging from small towns similar to Jefferson County to large communities like those closer into Washington DC. ) The webinars are available to the public and can be found at:
