The Planning Portal is like an online digital library. It serves as a central repository for regional documentation and data. But it's not just a place to read and review information.
The Planning Portal is also an interactive analysis framework. All common planning analyses can be done from within the Portal. But it's not just a planning tool.
The Planning Portal is also a communication and outreach tool. It can facilitate communication among and between agencies. Any portion of the Portal can be made public, invite comments, and request public feedback. It's all online and there's no software required.

The LEAM Planning Portal is a complete planning and decision support tool.
