Terra Firma newsletter debuts

Florida land planning is a complex and important issue that elected officials at all levels of government, policy makers and business leaders are actively looking for proposals to address.

To learn the latest news and information about land planning trends and issues, Land Planning Solutions (LPS), led by president Allison D. Megrath, AICP, will debut "Terra Firma," a free monthly e-mail newsletter.

"Our goal is to provide a resource to learn about breakthroughs and updates as well as how you can benefit from our unique brand of planning," Megrath said.
