Doing Public Participation Better

September 2024

This issue of Zoning Practice recounts some key flaws of typical public participation processes and, more importantly, proposes some solutions. Some of the proposals described here can be adopted and implemented by city, town, and county staff and commissioners, without the need for drawn-out fights for new state-enabling legislation. Other solutions will require changes to state-enabling legislation that would better advance the goals of public participation, equal treatment, and transparency.
