Tourists Living Like Locals: How Mountain Communities are Managing Short-Term Rentals

This session will highlight legislation and case law that planners, attorneys, and developers must be aware of.  Additionally, the session will explore the explosion in climate change-related litigation--over 1300 cases filed in the US in the past few years.  Increasingly these cases target local governments for failure to protect citizens against the impact of floods, wildfires, and other climate-change related natural disasters.  Speakers will also discuss climate change resilience funding provisions in the recently enacted national infrastructure legislation.
