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.

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.
