Schedule Today: Regional Development Framework Presentations
The Regional Development Framework is taking shape. Goals, objectives, strategies, and a 2050 growth scenario with performance measures are ready to share. We would like to hear your thoughts and talk about how best to carry out the Framework.

To schedule a presentation for your community or organization, contact Sean Higgins, Senior Community Planner, at seanh@capitalarearpc.org. The 15-20 minute presentation will be available through October.

The Framework will be used by local and regional communities and organizations to guide the physical development of the region. Its purpose is to align local planning and development efforts with our shared regional goals and objectives.
