The Town of Wake Forest is accepting applications for the 2020 Citizens Planning Academy through noon on Monday, March 2.
The Citizens Planning Academy (CPA) is designed to educate residents of Wake Forest and its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) about the Town’s planning processes and practices. CPA topics will emphasize public hearings procedures, legislative and quasi-judicial decisions, the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), transportation planning, historic preservation, architectural review and more.
Applications must be completed and submitted online by visiting http://bit.ly/WFCitizensPlanningAcademy. Anyone without access to a computer is invited to complete the application by using a computer kiosk in the lobby of Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St. Only residents of Wake Forest and the Town’s ETJ are eligible to participate.
Academy participants will be expected to attend a total of three training sessions over a six-week period from April through May 2020. This year’s sessions are scheduled on the following Mondays: April 13, April 27 and May 11. In the event one of the classes is canceled due to inclement weather or for some other reason, a make-up session may be offered on Monday, May 18. Each session will be offered from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St., and will include dinner starting at 6 p.m.
Class size is limited, and pre-registration is required. Sessions will be taught by the Planning Department staff and guest speakers.
Selected applicants will be notified no later than Monday, March 9, if they have been accepted, added to the wait list or may be considered for the 2021 class.
