Addition Brings Health District and Aging Organization to the Council of Governments
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is pleased to reach 100 local members by welcoming Franklin County Public Health and the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA) to Central Ohio’s regional council as associate members.
MORPC’s governing board voted Thursday to add the health and aging agencies to its growing ranks.
"Welcoming Franklin County Public Health and COAAA is an important step to providing better service for everyone in the region. Central Ohio works best when every community and partner is at the table. Public health and older adult services bring a vital perspective, ensuring that as our region grows bigger, we are growing better with smarter planning to be healthier and better for all ages."
These communities join a growing number of members in MORPC working together to advance shared regional goals in transportation, housing, sustainability and economic development.
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 each have a representative serving as a non-voting member on the MORPC commission, which meets regularly to guide the agency’s strategic direction.
