Hey everyone,
It's been a bit since the last post, but I wanted to take a minute to mention two things upcoming that I'm really excited about.
For one, I am working on a tool that should help with planning advocacy in our region. It will be a calendar that includes planning, zoning, redevelopment, and any other commission you can imagine, meetings throughout South Jersey. It'll include county and state board info and even some for the bigger/more critical municipalities. This takes more time than you'd imagine, as the data is ridiculously spread out and no one wants to make it easy for people to show up at a meeting when it could cause them some trouble. It's sapped a bit more time than I'm happy with but should be done this week.
The reason I even began preparing this tool is that it formed out of a discussion with several other planners and urbanim-minded people in the region last month. We've come together as a group that's pretty informal at this point, but our second meeting is this week. We're interested in working as a watchdog/advocacy group for responsible planning in the region. After this week there'll be more to say about it, but for now you should check out the facebook group we've been using to plan: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1425776957705366/
If you're interested in coming to the meeting, shoot me a message for more info.
