Regional Planning
Regional Land use Update – Eman Ibrahim presented on parcel-based land use data which will be used to quantify use changes. NIRPC is looking for a GIS staff or intern. Missing parcels are from steel mills, Kingsbury facility, Lake of the Four Seasons, Briar Ridge and staff is working with local government to identify all of the parcels. NIRPC projected an increase in population in the 2040 Plan, but the region lost about 7,742 people overall. An analysis of working strategies for 2050 will help us determine what the region might need in the future. E-commerce is booming and we are also looking at how communities will repurpose closing retail sites.
