The legal ins and outs of platting and subdividing land will be the topic of a day-long seminar Thursday featuring speakers from Jacksonville-based survey company Clary & Associates at the Hyatt beginning at 9 a.m.
Greg Clary, owner and president of Clary & Associates, along with Melissa Gross-Arnold, an attorney with the Jacksonville office of Lewis, Longman & Walker P.A., and Joseph Mecca, a civil engineer with the local office of national consulting firm Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. will serve as faculty for the event which is sponsored by Wisconsin-based Lorman Education Services.
The seminar is designed for attorneys, engineers, planners, developers, architects, property managers and public works and utilities directors. Everyone who attends will receive continuing education credit for their attendance. Presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
“The legal aspects of platting and subdividing land often can be challenging, so it’s important for everyone involved in the process to know their role and the historical background, statutes, regulations and requirements of plat and subdivision law,” said Clary. “Our seminar topics will help all the attendees better understand how to navigate the legal system.”
People interested in attending should contact 866-352-9539 for registration information.
Clary says any faculty proceeds will be donated to Pine Castle, the non-profit organization, which has provided more than 50 years of service to individuals with disabilities.
