The National Charrette Institute and Michigan State University Extension are hosting a statewide training series on Placemaking and using the NCI charrette process to achieve quality places.

These interactive one-day workshops will teach community and economic development professionals, planners, zoning administrators, elected officials, planning commissioners, students and involved citizens the essentials of quality places and how to create them using the National Charrette Institutes process for design-based collaboration. Participants will practice identifying areas ripe for placemaking and develop a placemaking project.
