Your occasionally gentle host is Fred Blackmer. If you have complaints, praise or suggestions, you can reach Fred at: FredBlackmer@aol.com

Subscribers: This is an opportunity to have the same information that land use professionals have been paying for. It also includes one on one answers to questions about specific issues. Regular updates on County, City and agency meetings will be posted. Detailed reports on Impact Fees, Zoning, Property Taxes, Board of Education and general interest items will be presented in chapter form. Background information on current headlines coupled with direct links to relevant regulations will allow better understanding of issues.
