NEW NAR LAND USE INITIATIVE MEMOS AVAILABLE

Below appears fifteen (15) new additions to the NAR Land Use Initiative Memo Database. As a reminder, the NAR Land Use Initiative Database is a searchable database where NAR members can search through all of the projects that have been submitted into the Land Use Initiative and that have received a written response from our vender, the land use law firm of Robinson and Cole, LLP. The database can be searched in four ways: by the date of the memo, by the state from which the request was received, by subject matter, or via a keyword search function.
