Land Use Institute

![GLIN Site of the Month]() The Michigan Land Use Institute
offers a rare combination of competencies - the ability to make
sense of complex issues, the expertise to communicate reasoned
solutions and the dogged organizing skills to make them a reality.
Institute journalists, researchers and program specialists spend
years digging up and confirming the underlying facts about the
penalties of spreading development out across the land. MLUI
presents innovative ideas to policy makers, crafts clear and
convincing messages with grassroots partners, and works through its
magazine, web site and the media to reach the hearts and minds of
Michigan's people.
