In Connecticut, the South Western Regional Planning Agency (SWRPA), Greater Bridgeport Regional Council (GBRC), Valley Council of Governments (Valley COG), and South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) have been working with the Regional Plan Association (RPA) to develop an execution plan for sustainability throughout the planning region. Consortium efforts have focused on aligning the existing regional plans with each other and the federal, state and local policies that are essential to their implementation.

On Tuesday November 20, the four Connecticut MPOs and RPA will discuss the proposed execution plan with -organizations that are responsible for or interested in furthering sustainability across Connecticut. Meeting attendees will provide comments and guidance on how the proposed execution plan aligns with organizational goals and will assist with planning for future partnerships to further sustainability initiatives across coastal CT.
