The BCDCOG's Regional Planning initiative, OurRegion OurPlan, is quickly coming together as a shared regional vision for quality of life and long range growth in the tri-county area.The June 28th meeting focused on a discussion of key goals, objectives, policies and potential implementation strategies outlined for the first five elements. Committees then discussed the sixth element and some possible ideas for stewardship in accomplishing the regional vision. Members of both committees have been asked to review and provide comments on the draft document in the next couple of weeks. The planning team anticipates finalizing the document by the end of the August for release in mid-September.

Scenario planning is a process that allows the BCD region to prepare and examine the “what ifs” of future growth and development. Scenarios describe different ways in which the region can meet its goals, objectives and aspirations. They are logical “pictures” of the future and its challenges, issues and opportunities and reflect the varied values of the region.

Regional Planning is thinking about land uses & the placement of activites, infrastructure & growth in an area which is much bigger than a single city, town, or even county. Regional planning is important for individual citizens in a region because it manages the available land resources more efficiently & addresses issues such as transportation environmental, which can only be addressed at the regional level.
