2. Panel and Discussion: Maine Growth Management Law

Maine municipalities have a responsibility to prepare a growth management program per the Growth Management Law through the development of comprehensive plans and land use ordinances. With new focus on growth management concepts through LD 2003, should planners be looking at the Growth Management Law with a critical eye toward modernization and innovation? GrowSmart Maine and Build Maine’s Policy Action 2023 is one collaboration that is tackling the question of modernization. Learn from representatives from the state and local government as well as GrowSmart Maine about the history of Growth Management, its relevancy, and its future, and discuss with the MAP membership about how planners can or should be involved to create a more flexible framework in which to support Maine communities.
