Knowledge
Planning Courses 
 
We offer municipal training to our 62 municipalities by sponsoring planning courses.  These in-depth courses are designed to primarily help municipal planners, planning commission members, and other local officials understand and accomplish the responsibilities involved with their role in the community.  All courses are taught in three evening sessions.  The courses were developed by the Pennsylvania Planning Association (PPA) and Penn State Extension Service through their training agency, the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Education Institute (PMPEI), and are taught by certified PMPEI instructors.  The PMPEI is an approved provider of continuing education by the PA Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers, PA Real Estate Commission, PA Continuing Legal Education Board, and Penn State University.  Each course is limited to 25 persons, and pre-registration is required.  The registration fee is $90 per person and includes a light meal.  Additional fees apply to those seeking continuing education credit.  Sign up to receive course notification e-mails.  Contact Rita McKelvey 610.278.3753 for additional information.
