Workshop at County Building 2

2024 Municipal Bootcamp Program

Hancock Estabrook and MRB Group are offering a free annual training program to assist local governments, municipal 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 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.

  

Thursday, October 24, 2024 – 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
SESSION 9: SHORT, BUT NOT TOO SHORT – HOW SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY LANDSCAPE

AirBnB, VRBO, Craigslist…everywhere you turn, there’s a platform to provide for short-term rentals of everything from a 10 bedroom house to an antique steam engine. What powers do local officials have to regulate these facilities, and who’s doing it best? This session will focus on the impacts of short-term rentals in the housing and lodging markets, and the tools your community has at its disposal to address possible conflicts around the neighborhood.

Thursday, December 19, 2024 – 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
SESSION 10: SANTA’S AND NICE AND NAUGHTY LIST— THE BEST AND WORST OF 2024

We’ll close out the year with a fun session on who got it really right and who might have missed the boat in 2024. We’ll provide case studies on the best examples of great development review, and a few pitfalls discovered by your neighbors that you should avoid going into the New Year.

Registration Required: R.S.V.P. Here.
