The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council recently launched its brand-new Government Liaison Program (GLP). This program is a renewed commitment to their member governments to enhance collaboration with their member representatives, the Boards they serve, and their staff. Each Council staff member serves as a liaison to member governments by attending and presenting at city council and board of county commissioner’s meetings, attending community events, and making connections with city and county administrators and their staff.
The Tampa Bay RPC staff travel the six-county region focusing on the specific planning needs of each individual jurisdiction and reporting the information back to the entire staff at the weekly GLP meetings. Staff convenes once a week as a group to specifically discuss and plan for how best we can support their planning efforts. The purpose of this initiative is to provide beneficial resources and services to member governments throughout the six-county region.
