Welcome to the New York Planning Federation

Please Note: The New York Planning Federation does not provide legal services for our members. The Planning Federation’s Board of Directors has an Amicus Committee comprised of attorneys actively involved in land use issues. When appropriate, the Amicus Committee, occasionally prepares Amicus briefs, on issues of statewide significance.
