Citizen Participation in Municipal Planning

USDA-Special Grant,.

Vermont's citizen planners do not necessarily have the expertise to incorporate coordinated public involvement into their local planning activities. This project has produced a series of handouts that allows citizen planners to compare various citizen participation techniques. These handouts have been published online at http://crs.uvm.edu/citizens/participation and are also available in hard copy form. By supporting the incorporation of citizen participation into the municipal planning process, this project will have a positive effect on important decisions made in Vermont communities. (F.
