Municipal Bootcamp 2021: Session Three – Leave It Better Than You Found It

New for 2021 Hancock Estabrook and the MRB Group are rolling out a new FREE annual training program to assist local governments, town officials, and planning and zoning boards.

The program will include 10 hours of remote training designed to provide a comprehensive education that encompasses all aspects of municipal governance. Each program in the series will be provided remotely on the fourth Thursday of each month with subject matter experts from the MRB Group and knowledgeable attorneys from Hancock Estabrook, LLP. Topics will be lively, useful and – potentially as important – qualify for the education requirements for members of Planning Boards and Zoning Boards of Appeals.

SESSION 3: LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT

Your Role in the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR)

It wouldn’t be New York State planning if there wasn’t a mile long checklist about the possible environmental impacts of a small shed installation. Getting this one right is critical to virtually every project you will review. We will walk you through the SEQR act and talk through the critical elements for every board and staff member to understand.
