Alabamians Ache for Land Use Planning |
|
|
|
 |
 |

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Shown below are some examples of how the lack of planning is impacting the lives of our fellow citizens. Because uncontrolled development is consuming forests and farmland, Alabamians are quickly embracing the idea of land use planning.
In 90% of Alabama, the only way to protect our homes from nuisances is to buy up all the land around us, and that is not fair. Zoning and land use planning protects property owners from nuisances and also protects farmland and forest preserves from encroaching development. |

More examples are forthcoming. If you are dealing with the nuisance created by 4,000 stinking pigs, the glare created by a cellular phone tower, or the new billboard that's blocking your backporch view of the sunset, effective zoning can help protect your right to enjoy your property. The world is getting smaller; now is the time to plan. |
