The CRPA provides both regional and local planning services to its member municipalities.  Regional planning services include the preparation and maintenance of the regional comprehensive plan, and special studies and planning activities related to sewer, water, land use, open space, recreation, demographics, environmental, community facilities or transportation issues. The Agency promotes dialogue among the member municipalities to develop cooperative solutions to regional problems. Local planning services involve staff support to individual municipalities to address more localized planning issues. These services include the review of subdivision and land development plans, preparation of ordinances and regulations to implement the regional comprehensive plan, special studies related to specific issues or areas within a municipality, and staff support to municipal planning commissions.
