The Greater Carlisle Heart & Soul Project, the Cumberland County Historical Society, and the Cumberland Conservation Collaborative will host a June 20 workshop on Breaking The Complaint Cycle: Municipal Planning and Community Engagement from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.

Are you a municipal official, municipal staff member, or community organization representative who is looking for constructive ways to break the complaint cycle?

This workshop provides participants with new engagement tool to break the complaint cycle and positively connect community members and organizations to the municipal land use and community planning process.

The focus will be to show the importance of public input early in the planning process for economic development and redevelopment projects.

Panelists from the region, including those from planning firms, municipal planning agencies, county government, and state government, will share lessons learned and strategies to benefit your community and make the planning process more efficient.

The workshop will be held at the Cumberland County Historical Society, Todd Hall, 21 N. Pitt St. in Carlisle.

The Greater Carlisle Heart & Soul Project was formed in 2015 as a resident-driven approach to land use and community planning and development, through grants from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the South Mountain Partnership mini-grant program.

Heart & Soul engages people from all segments of the community to share what makes their community a great place to live and what they value. Questions should be directed to Dr. Lindsey Varner by sending email to: greatercarlisleproject@gmail.com.
