Tuesday’s presentations include:
—Local government: An endangered species?—Local elected officials, including Washington Mayor Newbill Miller, will describe how their "hands are tied” by the courts and the state legislature, lack of proper professional staff or legal counsel and federal mandates.
— What role for Richmond?— How the Dillon Rule affects local land use planning; what the different attitudes around the state are in regard to development pressures; whether local governments can time-phase growth; and can “orderly development” legislation be passed by the General Assembly.
—Citizen’s response—what have we learned and where do we go from here?—panel members include Bob Dennis, environmental consultant from Flint Hill and PEC Board Chairman B. Powell Harrison.
