Thursday, January 23, 2020 the Cape Fear Council of Governments, in partnership with New Hanover County, is hosting the new Chapter 160D of the North Carolina General Statutes at the New Hanover County Northeast Library 1241 Military Cutoff Road (David M. Paynter Room), Wilmington, NC. The new Chapter 160D of the North Carolina General Statutes consolidates current statues for local development regulations (now in Chapters 153A and 160A) into a single, unified chapter, and places these statutes into a more logical, coherent organization. While the new law does not make major policy changes or shifts in the scope of authority granted to local governments, it does provide many clarifying amendments and consensus reforms that will need to be incorporated into local development regulations before January 2021. 

The School of Government is providing resources and training for implementation of Chapter 160D. Adam Lovelady and David Owens will be traveling across the state this winter to offer afternoon workshops for practitioners. registration will include a copy of the forthcoming book on Chapter 160D. The workshop is offered in conjunction with online training that will be available in advance of the workshops. Instruction will presume that participants have already viewed the online training and reviewed available materials. Information on the pre class online training and materials will be emailed to registrants as soon as those details become available.

The cost is $100.
