Regional Planning Workgroups

In order to be successful, the Regional Plan needs to reflect the desires of the region. The workgroups will include both subject matter experts and representatives from different geographic areas who will provide a reality check on the differing needs of the region’s urban, suburban, rural, and coastal communities. The workgroups will be a key component in ensuring that the plan will ultimately move toward implementation.

The Technical Advisory Group, or subject matter experts, will focus on sustainability as it pertains to transportation and infrastructure, housing, environmental impact, social equity, economic development, and healthy communities. This group will evaluate the region's current systems, identify challenges and opportunities to sustainability, and develop specific metrics for assessment of goals. Membership in this group will be based on demonstrated subject-matter expertise as well as representation of a diverse balance of regional constituents.

The Regional Transect Group, or regional representatives, will focus on sustainability as it applies to the rural, suburban, urban, and coastal areas of the region, review the suitability of metrics for each geographic area, and review implementation strategies.
