~Find out how future
growth and development will impact
Community Health and Resource Management in
our community~
Apalachicola, FL–
Ever wonder how future growth and development could impact our community?
Community Health and Resources Management or C.H.A.R.M. is a tool that helps
community members and decision makers to project future scenarios about long
term growth and development. By
collaborating over a live table-top interface workshop participants use local
mapping data to plan hypothetical growth scenarios for their community. Real time feedback allows participants to see
the consequences of their planning decisions. The planning support tool
encourages collaborative problem solving. No GIS experience is needed to
participate.
How many homes are
vulnerable to flooding? How will development impact the water quality of
Apalachicola Bay? What if development was placed in one location vs another?
What will be the demand for city and county services in 10 or 20 years?
This workshop is for
resource managers, local officials, community members, planners, developers,
and others interested in collaborative planning and public participation for
coastal resiliency. The workshop is free. Participants can bring their lunch or
bring $10 and lunch will be provided. Register at
