The Institute for Public Administration’s
(IPA) Planning Services group offers a wide
variety of planning services to local, state, and regional governments
in the Delaware Valley. IPA combines the professional planning experience and research
skills of its staff with the resources of the University of Delaware
to maintain its rich tradition of providing service and assistance
to municipalities. Having served at all levels of state, county,
and local government, these staff members bring both an impressive
list of credentials and the variety of experience and skills needed
to address the needs of the counties and municipalities in Delaware.
An important internal component is engagement of University students in the process of providng these comprehensive planning services. Students work with the staff and towns on real projects and, thus, gain valuable hands-on experience.
Many of the most requested services from IPA are listed below. During the past decade, IPA has worked directly with more than half of the towns in Delaware and provided training to almost every town and all three counties.
