The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) announces for public review and comment the draft goals for Shaping our Future: the Regional Plan for Central Ohio and the 2035 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The draft goals were derived from the results of the on-line public opinion survey and focus groups conducted earlier this year in Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Knox, Licking, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Pickaway, Ross, and Union counties. The goals are drafted in alignment with existing federal, state and regional policies and efforts. The findings of this work can be found
here.
The draft goals include:
- Reduce energy consumption to decrease production of greenhouse gases
- Preserve and protect natural resources to maintain a healthy ecosystem
- Position central Ohio to attract economic opportunity to prosper as a region and compete globally
- Build sustainable neighborhoods to improve residents’ quality of life
- Increase collaboration to maximize the return on public expenditures
- Use public investments to benefit the health, safety and welfare of all people
