Regional Planning
Much of Triangle J's planning work involves developing and managing partnerships that bring local communities together with other stakeholders to reach solutions. Working with community partners on long-term, regional-scale strategies, Triangle J takes on five principal roles:
- convener and common ground for research, project development, relationship-building and information-sharing
- coordinator of efficient regional service
- manager of regional planning projects
- administrator for regional institutions addressing development, conservation and infrastructure
- provider of technical assistance and data to member communities
The Regional Planning Department is organized into three main program areas, which manage individual subprograms and projects: (Click on any of the links below to go to that program/project page.)
