If you care about the implementation of the regional plan, want to give the SPC suggestions and ask some tough questions, attend this open house or read the plan online. The Regional Plan’s implementation, as well as the final results of the planning process, “Project Region,” are being showcased at this open house. There are a lot of good and reasonable goals and principles set forth in the plan, but now it’s time to see if they can be put into practice – and where future land use and development of our region is the context, you know that’s going to be a challenge. The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, the “metropolitan planning organization” for our region, is the conduit for most transportation dollars that come to us. It has been in charge of the whole process of developing this plan, which included public participation in ranking a spectrum of future development scenarios. The plan development process was lauded as one of the best-designed in the nation.
