One of the most important powers and responsibilities of local government is its authority to plan and guide growth of municipal
services and public improvements so that development occurs in an orderly, rational and reasonable manner.

citizens. It can also serve as a useful board for new or innovative concepts.

The process demands that all interests be considered and then balanced.
Members of a planning commission can play a crucial role in identifying, analyzing and balancing environmental, economic and
human interests. In combination, these interests represent the very fiber of our democratic process and our quality of life.
By careful planning, we can determine how to best promote proper use of land, provide for the efficient movement of people and
goods, preserve our natural
resources, and achieve the most appropriate and economical use of our natural and human resources.
All of these resources are important to the welfare of our communities. Local governments have been delegated the power to
plan and guide the way these resources are utilized.
Members of local planning commissions can assist our municipal officials in many significant ways.
