Lorrie L. Pearson, Barbara Hinsman and Rebecca Vander Kelen of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning conducted a study with the Alliance for the Great Lakes on the development policies of counties and communities surrounding Lake Michigan. They collected various planning documents for their research and have now donated them to the City Planning and Landscape Architecture Library. The documents are part of the CPLA’s vertical file collection.
