This training is being provided free of charge and is being funded through a grant from Westchester County.
Conducted by the Land Use Law Center, the LULA short-course program is a two-day course and is intended for local leaders who have a commitment to environmental protection and sustainability efforts. The training teaches local leaders how to develop sound and balanced strategies to accomplish policy objectives and to carry them out effectively.
