The Our Pocono Waters Initiative will host a September 6 webinar Living with Logistics: Introduction to PennFuture's Model Zoning Ordinance for Logistics Facilities starting at 7:00 p.m.

The webinar features PennFuture's Staff Attorney, Brigitte Meyers, as she discusses their new model ordinance designed specifically to mitigate the environmental impacts of logistics facilities.

Communities across the Poconos are now faced with the influx of massive logistics facilities, and some municipalities are struggling to figure out how to respond before it’s too late.

In order to help Pennsylvania’s municipalities proactively prepare for this incoming land use, PennFuture has created a model zoning ordinance and guidebook.

The Model Logistics Use Zoning Ordinance is based on the information and experience that PennFuture’s staff has gained through our engagement with community members and municipalities in the region.

During this webinar, we will share what we have learned and offer suggestions for how to draft an effective zoning regulation.

Join this conversation with the author of this model ordinance to learn more about it and what you can do to advocate for it in your municipality.
