2025 Regional Plan Update

On July 9, 2024, the CVRPC Board of Commissioners moved to readopt the 2016 Regional Plan. This step was taken to allow staff an additional 12-18 months to work with our Regional Plan Committee, Board of Directors and member communities to development a new regional plan. By readopting the current plan, CVRPC ensures continuity in regional planning efforts while providing staff with the necessary flexibility to craft a comprehensive and well-informed new plan
