« Legislative News Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute Hosts Sustainability Development Seminar
The Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute (RMLUI), an interdisciplinary, non-partisan forum for land use and environmental issues, will host a planners training service in Austin in January 2010. Associated with the University of Denver, the RMLUI hosts the largest annual land use conference in the country.
