> DURHAM, N.C. - Durham residents who want a better understanding on planning issues and how they impact current and future development should register now for the new Durham Planning Academy<http://durhamnc.gov/2820/Durham-Planning-Academy>.
> 
>  
> 
> Hosted by the Durham City-County Planning Department<http://durhamnc.gov/338/City-County-Planning>, this free pilot program will introduce residents to planning concepts and procedures, explore the responsibilities of the department, and share typical procedures that various types of planning cases undergo. Participants will also learn about the legal framework in which planners must operate, and be able to participate in a mock Planning Commission meeting where facets and perspectives on planning issues will be discussed.

> According to Planning Supervisor Aaron Cain with the Durham City-County Planning Department, this pilot academy is a proactive attempt to help residents understand what can sometimes be a very complex process. "Over the past several years, our department heard from many residents that the planning process, goals, and regulations can be cumbersome and difficult to understand for the average resident," Cain said. "Our goal with the Durham Planning Academy is to help shed light on how planning works in this community, and have academy graduates empowered to unravel some of the complications for their neighbors when issues and projects arise."
