The Northwestern
Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) is holding a seven-day public
comment period on Amendment No. 1 to the 2019-20 Unified Planning Work
Program (UPWP).
The comment period
will end on Wednesday Jan. 2.
NIRPC’s UPWP is the
approved work plan for the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) staff,
which identifies planning tasks and activities that will be conducted over
the next two years. The UPWP is also a financial planning document that
links resources and MPO staff where they are most significant in responding
to local and regional issues as well as continues to balance available
resources, long and short-range planning and programming.
Comments may be
submitted until January 2, 2019 in the following ways:
* Email: comments@nirpc.org
* Phone: (219)
763-6060.
* U.S. Postal
Service: NIRPC, 6100 Southport Road, Portage, IN 46368
All comments
received during the public comment period will be compiled into a public
comment report and responded to. This report will be made available to the
public and distributed to the commission members prior to any action on
these items. It is anticipated that action seeking a recommendation for
approval will be taken at the Jan. 8 meeting of the Technical Planning
Committee, followed by action of approval at the Jan. 17 meeting of the
NIRPC Commission.
