Community Planning Institute (CPI)

Planning and Quality Growth (PQG) works continually to educate and train Georgia's communities about the importance and mechanics of local and regional planning and the economic, social and environmental benefits of balanced growth. Our staff is available to provide information and presentations on all of our programs and tools as well as the concepts of planning and quality growth.

The Community Planning Institute (CPI) is the primary vehicle PQG uses for delivering our educational offerings. For several years PQG been partnering directly with the Georgia Planning Association (GPA) under the CPI umbrella to provide our flagship training program: CPI: Planning Commissioner Training.

Building upon this fruitful partnership, CPI: Planning Commissioner Training will soon be joined by several new offerings: CPI: Building Your Plan (premiering Fall 2009) and CPI: Implementing Your Plan (currently under conceptual development).

CPI: Planning Commissioner Training

This Community Planning Institute module is an overview of the importance of a community vision in planning for the future, the role of the planning commissioner in helping define that vision and how you can work with your community’s citizens and governing body to make that vision a reality. It is a two-day program, in partnership with the Georgia Planning Association, in planning practice conducted by planning and legal professionals.

CPI: Building Your Plan

(Premiering Spring 2010)

This CPI module will provide participants with a hands-on introduction to the process of producing a comprehensive plan for their communties. With detailed presentations and meaningful excersises exploring the assembly of a community assessment, the execution of a community participation program, and the construction of the community agenda this workshop will be indispensible for practicing planners, local appointees, and interested citizens. Check back with us, soon, for more information as it becomes available.

CPI: Implementing Your Plan

(Currently Under Conceptual Development)

The "Implementing Your Plan" module is intended to bridge the gap the "thinking" and the "doing" of the planning process. We're building this module in the hope of providing substantive answers to the persistant question, "Okay, we have a plan, now what?" Using the same participatory approaches developed for the "Building Your Plan" module, PQG guide participants as we delve into the tools available to help Georgia's communities turn their visions into realities.
