About this blog

This blog, maintained by Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Touro Law Center Professor and Land Use & Sustainable Development Law (LUSD) Institute Director Sarah Adams-Schoen, is designed to foster greater understanding of local land use law, environmental law and public policy by providing a forum for the discussion of current laws, policies and decisions that affect the use of land. It highlights new court decisions; new local, state, and federal laws and policies; actions at the local government level that guide or impact land use and community development; and upcoming events of interest to land use practitioners, including developers’ attorneys, land use planners, local government attorneys, architects and engineers, the sustainable development community, and state and local regulators.
