Annual Planning Symposium
As of January 1, 2007, New York State law requires a minimum training standard of four hours each year for members of county, city, town and village planning and zoning boards. The type of acceptable training is left to the discretion of individual municipalities. The legislative body for each city, county, town or village approves a course or courses of training for its board members.
The Federation offers annual Municipal Training Conferences to assist municipalities in meeting these minimum training standards. The next conference is scheduled for January 21, 2009 at the OnCenter in Syracuse, New York.
