Lorman Education Services
Training Provided by Lorman Education Services BenefitsNIMBY resistance to land use proposals can add millions to the cost of the development project and add months to the permitting process. This teleconference will provide practical, actionable tools to anticipate and avoid community resistance to controversial land use projects and to actively build community enthusiasm for the proposal.

We'll next be looking at the four causes of opposition to land use projects and discuss how to deal with these challenges without creating new community problems. Finally, the teleconference will spell out the specific steps necessary to turn out the troops at city hall and get citizens to stand up and say, 'I want this project in my backyard!'
