INSTRUCTIONS
For this Case Study, you will first describe two forms of local governments in the U.S. (e.g., city, towns, county, special governments) and their effect on planning. Consult ICMA for forms of local government. From there, you will analyze how the two forms of local government you selected use the planning process, and describe which comprehensive or incremental planning technique was chosen? What were the outcomes? Finally, you will determine a biblical viewpoint with the methodology chosen. Please use scripture to support the position. Integrate Biblical verses rather than at the end of the paper. Items to include are outlined as follows:
