Regardless of whether you work for a municipality, county, consulting firm, builder or in some other business where professional land use planning is a crucial component, there are potential opportunities for collaboration amongst professional planners here within our Upstate region. Those opportunities may include working collaboratively on projects, increasing awareness of the value and importance of planning, identifying sustainable growth measures that can be replicated regionally or other similar initiatives.
Over the last several months, we have been among a group of planning professionals, developers, builders, environmentalists, interested citizens and others who have been serving as members of the Sustainable Growth Task Force for Ten at the Top, which is a 10-county regional organization focused on encouraging regional communication and partnerships on issues associated with growth, economic vitality and quality of life.
As part of the task force action plan, we have identified collaboration amongst professional and citizen planners from across the region as a potential opportunity to enhance sustainable growth within the Upstate.
We would like to invite you to join us for a work-session where we will share some of the initial efforts underway through the Ten at the Top Task Force and then discuss whether further opportunities exist for collaboration amongst professional and citizen planners in the region.
We also believe that one of the greatest values of this type of meeting is to provide opportunities for planning professionals to network and share ideas with each other on a regular basis. Following our meeting, we hope you will stay for a networking reception so we can better get to know each other.
Please plan on joining us on Thursday, May 10th, for a working meeting and reception. Here are the meeting details:
Upstate Professional Planners Meeting

Feel free to invite other planners from within your organization or others who you work with across the Upstate as we are still trying to build a comprehensive list from across the region.
We look forward to seeing you in May and identifying where there might be opportunities for collaboration and partnerships.
Sincerely,
TATT Sustainable Growth Task Force Co-Chairs
