Cooperation between municipalities
provides the basis for reducing public costs (and taxes), sharing
revenues, protecting environmentally sensitive areas, managing economic
opportunities, maintaining local control of growth and development,
and avoiding the impact of costly litigation. Intergovernmental
agreements can help ensure the maintenance of roads, the delivery
of utility services, and efficient investment in schools and other
public buildings. PDI has helped forge several types of intergovernmental
agreements.
Joint Land Use Plans
PDI constructs cost-effective joint plans that allow public officials
to create a shared image for new development.
Border Agreements
PDI's work on border agreements addresses detailed questions of
land use, access, property value, and annexation procedures that
treat land owners and surrounding communities fairly.
Annexation Dispute Resolution
When annexation disputes arise, PDI assists in the negotiation process
to develop alternatives that minimize conflict.
Cooperative Neighborhood Planning Across Jurisdictional Lines
As communities grow they often cross jurisdictional boundaries,
creating new opportunities and problems. PDI's plans help communities
address these situations in a mutually beneficial manner.
Cooperative Planning for Conservation
Environmental conditions often require multi-jurisdictional cooperation
in order to conserve important resources and remain fair to local
landowners.
Fair Planning Procedures for Towns and Counties
As more communities develop smart growth plans, the relationship
between these plans becomes paramount. PDI has developed procedures
that help communities share and integrate plans to avoid conflicts
and adversarial conditions.
