Inform, facilitate, and participate in land use policy dialogues. CaRDI staff focus their energies on educational and training issues relevant to land use policy, help organize and facilitate policy dialogues, and conduct applied research on topics of interest to state and local policy makers.

A recent example of CaRDI’s work in this area was our support of the Great Lakes Commission Land Use Policy Roundtable.  For more information, see http://www.glc.org/landuse/nyroundtable/

More generally, we will cultivate and strengthen our relationships with the NYS Department of State, the NY Planning Federation, and other partners to promote closer relationships between publications, annual meetings, coordination of research and training agendas.
