Land Use Impact Assessment Tools Workshop  
The Department of Natural Resources has a responsibility to support Wisconsin�s comprehensive planning (�smart growth�) process. One component of this effort is to promote the use of decision support tools by the general public, public officials, and others who make land use decisions. Along these lines, we are pleased to be sponsoring this workshop to evaluate tools for assessing impacts of land use decisions.
