Definitely recommend taking Franklins advice and just sit in on the municipality’s planning meeting. I sat in one and got to hear the struggles of the growing community, the objections from counsel, introduce myself to the committee informally (without an agenda), and find out the plans for the community. Such a wealth of knowledge before I present my plans to improve the community. Things to address when I’m added to the agenda. I second the recommendation to learn about the community you’re planning on developing in!
