The PA State Association of Township Supervisors One Source Training Program is hosting a series of workshops on funding municipal recreation and parks programs and an introduction to land use planning around the state over the next few months.

The Funding Municipal Recreation Programs Workshops, co-sponsored by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, are designed to highlight a range of approaches with practical examples from communities across the Commonwealth to finance public recreation and park services.

Topics to be covered include user fees, revenue generating facilities, tapping community resources, financing capital projects and more. Recreation and park professionals will talk about how to develop the proper mix of revenue sources for your community.

The ABCs of Land Use Management Workshops, co-sponsored by the PA Planning Association, provides attendees with tips, tools and procedures for new and experienced municipal officials.

Modest registration fees are charge and pre-registration is encouraged.

For information on these workshops and others scheduled, visit the PSATS One Source Training Calendar webpage.
