Comprehensive Plans, Ordinances, Technical Assistance, Regional Projects
Comprehensive Plans:
EMDC assists communities with the development and/or updating of comprehensive plans, a tool for the municipality to gather ideas about the future of their community and to formulate actions to achieve that vision. A comprehensive plan addresses issues of land use, government administration, capital improvement, and economic development. To secure certain grant funds municipalities must have a locally-adopted and state-deemed consistent comprehensive plan. The plan provides communities with direction municipal officials can follow to ensure proper growth and development into the future.
Ordinances:
EMDC offers assistance to communities addressing local land use issues. We help communities create and revise ordinances that are applicable to the community’s specific needs.
Technical Assistance:
EMDC provides routine consultation at no cost to the communities we serve. We serve as a resource for municipal officials who have questions about land use regulations, including subdivisions, land use, comprehensive planning, shoreland zoning, and floodplain management etc.
Regional Projects:
EMDC works on regional planning projects throughout its service area for projects that span several municipalities and require a co-operative approach from several communities and other state, public and private organizations.
