Local Government Activity
Comprehensive Plan Update: A comprehensive plan outlines a community's vision for its future development and growth. It covers a wide range of topics such as land use, transportation, housing, economic development, infrastructure, environmental conservation, and community services. This will be an ongoing multi-stage process over the next year. Take the survey and do the mapping exercise which just opened.
The Centre Regional Planning Agency is hiring an AmeriCorp member - Sustainability Coordinator. This 1-year position will help community members connect with critical resources to learn more about the opportunities related to energy conservation, renewable energy and electrification.
In partnership with Centre County MPO, Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities submitted a grant for $25,000 to create Let’s Talk Electric Mobility in Centre County. This project will allow for a broad range of engagement focused on acquiring community input on EV infrastructure planning to help define priorities, challenges and opportunities.
