Please join Mid-MEAC for our February Land Use Lunch on Friday, February 3, 2012 where we we welcome special guests Melissa Gibson and Shanna Draheim from Public Sector Consultants.  Ms. Gibson and Ms. Draheim will discuss the issue of school structure and land use planning in an age of shifting/declining populations. The talk will focus on school locations and will use East Lansing as a case study for the discussion but will also address statewide policy and practice issues.  Both speakers bring a wealth of experience in community and environmental planning, land use, urban policy and natural resource management.


Land Use Lunch
School Structure &Land Use PlanningFriday, February 03, 201212pm - 1pmTraining RoomChristman Building208 N. Capitol, Downtown LansingPlease join Mid-MEAC for our February Land Use Lunch on Friday, February 3, 2012 where we welcome special guest Melissa Gibson of Public Sector Consultants. Ms. Gibson will talk about school structure and land use planning in an age of shifting/declining populations. This topic is very timely given the current discussions in Lansing and East Lansing around school closures and consolidations. This will NOT be a discussion about particular schools but rather a "big picture" conversation about the issues facing school districts and the communities they serve.Melissa Gibson is a Senior Consultant at Public Sector Consultants and co-author of "The Implications of School Location Change for Healthy Communities in a Slow-Growth State" and "Population Effects on School District Structure and Size in Michigan". Also on hand will be Shanna Draheim, Senior Consultant at Public Sector Consultants, with expertise in community and environmental planning, land use, urban policy and natural resource management.Please mark your calendar for this VERY hot topic. We have somewhat limited seating (50), so please arrive by 12:00pm to get lunch and a seat! Mid-MEAC Land Use Lunches are held from 12pm-1pm and feature a light buffet lunch for $5.  Land Use Lunches are open to the public and are handicap-accessible via elevator.  Please join us and learn more about land use issues in our region
