Virus Crisis Forces Planning to Go Virtual
Across the state, nearly every municipal planning department has retreated from its offices but otherwise remains open for business, at least to some extent. With the state essentially shut down for the next few weeks, with weeks or months of uncertainty thereafter, attending to matters that are measured in decades — such as general plan updates — may seem futile.
And yet, many departments are moving ahead not only with long-range planning but also with more immediate obligations such as permit processing, in part to keep housing production going.
