Why Land Use Matters
You may be wondering why there is an entire program dedicated to helping people decide to take part in a municipal land-use board, and then how to navigate it once they are on the board. Short answer: zoning is very important to ensuring the livability, walkability, and overall vibrancy of our communities.
Almost every community has zoning laws that were established to help communities grow thoughtfully. By updating these zoning regulations, we can all have a say in what our communities ultimately become.

“The work is meaningful as my voice and voting power has a direct impact on the future development of the city. As a young person who rents an apartment in Dover I provide other renters representation. As such I push for affordable housing because I know the struggle of finding reasonably priced apartments in the area.”
