Transportation and Land Development
For the last three decades Florida has been recognized nationally for its Growth Management Act. In 2011, the legislature made significant changes to limit state review of local government plans, encourage transit-oriented development and eliminate the requirement for transportation concurrency. The panel will discuss the challenges and innovations in the coordination of land development and transportation and their use in the changing fiscal and economic environment in Florida.
Rinker Hall, Room 238
2:45p Panel Discussion
Water Issues in Florida
Of all the states, Florida has the most intimate relationship with water. In the past, water was so abundant that early settlers drained the land, but today communities are spending billions of dollars to capture water for future development and environmental restoration. The panel of experts will provide the latest information about Florida’s water-related challenges and discuss innovative responses by communities, agencies, businesses, and university researchers.
