The Institute is an educational collaboration of Penn State Cooperative Extension and the PA Chapter of the American Planning Association to provide a unique educational service that would improve planning in Pennsylvania through education. Supporting this educational collaboration is the PA State Association of Boroughs which provides valuable administrative, monitoring, financial and scheduling assistance.

More than 10,000 Pennsylvanians serve on 1,700 municipal and county planning commissions. Another 6,000-7,000 serve on zoning hearing boards or are involved in the day-to-day administration of some 1,600 municipal zoning ordinances. These dedicated volunteers are the foundation of planning in the Commonwealth. Education is a key in preparing them to be leaders capable of effectively carrying out planning and land use regulations in their communities.
