I just added a resource listing about this bad boy to the NCDD Resource Center, but thought I’d mention it in the main blog as well.  The Orton Family Foundation’s new Planning Tool Exchange (which they’ve nicknamed “PlanIt X”) is a free, community-driven website designed to help people find and share tools and resources to support community planning and civic engagement.

I was tickled to see that the NCDD Resource Center is currently one of three resources featured on the main page of PlanIt X (we have 2,500 resources listed on the NCDD site in case you’re not aware:  discussion guides, D&D methods, case studies, evaluation tools, videos, articles, etc., etc.).

Visit PlanItX at www.orton.org/tools/planning_tool_exchange, register, and start contributing!
