Is the PPC responsible for all countywide planning?
The PPC is primarily responsible for land use planning, which governs such issues as where development may go and how intensely it may be used; and intergovernmental coordination, or cooperative planning between otherwise independent local governments. Many other issues, such as transportation, economic development, and schools, overlap these categories and are also addressed by the PPC. Responsibility for countywide planning is shared by many agencies and levels of government (see our guide at the bottom of this page). However, because virtually all areas of planning are interrelated, the PPC strives to work cooperatively with others and provide a forum to discuss common issues.
