Planners have always been involved in developing communities everyone would want to call home. Originally, this meant designing and maintaining cities and counties through land use regulation and infrastructure support. Agencies have had to balance the needs of residential neighborhoods, agricultural areas, and business concerns. Now, in addition to that complex challenge, local governments must factor into these decisions the requirements of a growing list of regional, state and federal agencies as well as special interest groups.
