2025 Regional Plan Update 

Read More

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
