Regional Planning Committee

The Regional Planning Committee oversees the preparation and implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Plan. The components of the plan include transportation, housing, environment, economy, regional infrastructure needs, financing, and land use and design. The Regional Planning Committee receives input from the Sustainable Communities Working Group, Social Equity Working Group, Shoreline Preservation Working Group, and Military Working Group.  Recommendations of the Regional Planning Committee are forwarded to the Board of Directors for action.  

The Regional Planning Committee meetings are generally held at 12:30 p.m. on the first Friday of the month for approximately two hours.
