The Local Government Issue: Land Use Planning

Our November newsletter is dedicated to local governments and the tireless work they do to help our region thrive. In this Insight, we’re highlighting one of the services we provide to local governments so that they can reach their organizational goals.

Since 2019, state legislation has required that municipalities hoping to enforce zoning regulations have and maintain a land use plan. Land use plans capture the vision, values and goals of a community in order to create a strategic direction that guides planning decisions. Lately, we’ve worked with Dallas, Stanley, Wingate, Albemarle and Locust to set their teams up for success.

Land use planning provides communities with an opportunity to integrate land use practice with other local priorities such as transportation connectivity, parks and recreation, infrastructure investment and economic development. Coordinated planning helps communities create vibrant places that meet the needs of current and future residents.

Centralina has the experience necessary to support local governments with land use planning efforts and can assist with the creation or updates of land use, small area and corridor plans. Our experts provide technical assistance to your community on diverse aspects of the planning process that lead to a winning plan.
