Additions bring local government membership in MORPC to 98
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is pleased to welcome three new local governments to Central Ohio’s regional council.
MORPC’s governing board has voted to add the Delaware County Public Health District, the Village of Commercial Point, and Pleasant Township to its growing ranks. The entities become MORPC’s 96th, 97th and 98th local government members.
"We are pleased to welcome the Village of Commercial Point, Pleasant Township, and the Delaware Public Health District as our newest members. Each brings a valuable local perspective to the regional table, and together they reflect the full range of communities and partners that make Central Ohio stronger — from small hometowns and townships to growing suburbs and the public agencies that serve them. We look forward to providing them with the data, services, and regional connections that help their communities thrive.”
The Commission voted on and approved the new memberships on Thursday, May 14. These communities join a growing number of members in MORPC that are working together to advance shared regional goals in transportation, housing, sustainability and economic development.
“Having a seat at the regional table is critical for long-term planning for these new member governments. Gaining access to MORPC’s expertise in transportation, infrastructure and funding resources will help member communities manage development effectively while maintaining the character of their communities.”
MORPC membership provides member organizations with access to MORPC’s data, technical assistance, educational forums, and funding opportunities for local projects. The new members will also have a representative serving as a voting member on the MORPC commission, which meets regularly to guide the agency’s strategic direction.
