The Steuben County Plan Commission and Steuben County Purdue Extension will host a Purdue Extension video seminar on Wednesday, January 27, 2010, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The topic for this seminar is “Welcome to the Plan Commission and BZA.”

The interactive program will help new and experienced members, elected officials, and interested citizens understand how plan commissions and board of zoning appeals can and should function.

The presentation will describe responsibilities of members, explore common situations for decision makers, and discuss how members can better serve their community. Participants will learn how to use the tools and resources available for making land-use decision. Examples of opportunities for local orientation and training will be provided.

The program will teach citizens how to effectively participate in the planning process. Anyone interested in land-use decisions or community planning is encouraged to attend.

Speakers include Mark Spelbring and Dave Osborne, Purdue Extension Educators, and Jeff Bergman, Planning Director of Columbus/Bartholomew County.
