Course Description |
This course offers a general understanding of the rules and the negative impacts of URA non-compliance on projects, including the possible loss of Federal funding, and provides a balanced view of all aspects of the rule and an introduction to the interdependent nature of disciplines involved in infrastructure projects. This course does not focus on the intricacies of requirements, nor does it put too heavy an emphasis on the more complicated relocation assistance calculations and provisions. It is intended to provide a hands-on experience and heavily relies upon individual and group participation in examining (and demystifying) the URA regulations. The participants will be asked to read aloud certain sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and provide subsequent comment and reflection. Anyone not comfortable with this may simply choose to pass to the next reader and is always welcome to participate in other ways.
