DLBP Attends GPA Spring 2025 Conference

On Thursday, March 13th, DLBP Senior Planner, Devynn Glanz. attended the engaging Georgia Planning Association’s (GPA) Spring 2025 Conference located at the Gainesville Civic Center, where she witnessed and participated in many thought-provoking discussions on the future of planning within Georgia and the United States.  Two breakout sessions that stood out examined equitable planning policy and action within the Comprehensive Plan and discussions on zoning reform and revision for amenity-based development.  The keynote speaker was the Principal Planner and Housing Specialist for the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Kristin Allin, who discussed (affordable) housing trends, accomplishments, and challenges in Atlanta Metropolitan and best practices for planners to become equipped to adapt to these changes utilizing the Regional Housing Toolkit.  

DLBP is grateful to have attended this conference with other fellow planners and looks forward to further opportunities to participate in these lively and interesting planning sessions and discussions.
