Who We Are
CPTC is a collaborative made up of Dept. Housing & Community Development, UMass Center for Agriculture, Mass Association of Regional Planning Agencies, Mass Chapter American Planning Association, Mass Audubon, Mass Association of Planning Directors, citizen and professional planners.
It's mission is to empower land use officials to make effective and judicious decisions in the areas of development, transportation, natural resources and the environment by providing educational opportunities, access to information and resources, and by enhancing cooperation among and integration of land use boards within local government.
Training Services
Training designed for Massachusetts Planners, Boards of Appeals, Zoning Enforcement Officers and others interested in land use in Massachusetts.
The CPTC Webinar Series - 2021 is replacing the traditional Fall Workshops. All workshops are being held by video conference.
The format of the 2022 CPTC Annual Conference has not been decided. We are hoping it can be a live event this year.
