“The Project for Code Reform has completely changed our expectations of what Michigan's local governments can do to reshape their zoning and improve their communities. [It’s] really valuable when your town or city faces budget and staff constraints.” Dan Gilmartin Executive Director and CEO, Michigan Municipal League

…And the research continues

  • Vermont- affordable housing
  • Michigan – the suburban condition
  • Palm Beach – incremental approach to wholesale

  • And other states– population boom, historic

preservation, green space, stormwater

  • What can you bring to this research?
