Since the early 1970s, eight states have enacted measures mandating or encouraging preparation of local comprehensive land-use plans according to state standards. In one sense, they have revived the earlier commitment to community planning largely abandoned by the federal government over the past two decades. However, it is unclear how states and municipalities will fund continuous management of local plans, once they are completed and adopted. The federal Community Development Block Grant program offers a logical source of assistance, but amendments are necessary to correct program shortcomings and ensure quality control in planning outcomes. Local and state matching contributions should complement federal assistance.
