MORPC Public Policy Agenda

The Critical Role that Public Policy Plays in Initiating Change

Perhaps never before has legislative and public policy played such an important role in the growth and deevelopment of our region. As our nation and state face unprecedented challenges, MORPC is acutely aware how these major issues impact central Ohio's quality of life, propserity and future.

MORPC’s 2013 Public Policy Agenda was shaped by members of the Regional Policy Roundtable, which is a group of diverse interests and representation chaired by MORPC Board Member Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher of the City of Dublin. The Public Policy Agenda aims to reflect the objectives and ideals of both MORPC’s members and the greater community for an even stronger 12-county central Ohio region.

By placing issues within three tiers (Lead, Collaborate and Follow), Roundtable members were able to create a strategic agenda that will be used to educate elected officials and stakeholders. The Public Policy Agenda is by no means considered a final document – it will evolve and change as important issues arise. MORPC will utilize this framework to begin proactively advocating for policies and opportunities to enhance the quality of life in central Ohio and advance the region.
