WCRPC Legislative Priorities

The Washington County Regional Planning Council formally adopted these Legislative Priorities. These were presented and provided to our local Washington County legislators at our annual Legislator's Breakfast Meeting.

Coastal Erosion

Problem: Lack of coordination between CRMC/DEM/Coastal Towns.

Solution: Appoint a Study Commission, that includes coastal town representatives, interacts with the Beach SAMP, and addresses streamlining and coordination efforts between state organizations and coastal communities.

Streetlights

Problem: Towns are mandated to use the utility for this public safety resource and cannot capture efficiencies in energy use and contracted maintenance.

Solution: Accomplished by WCRPC.
