Business Plan

The Long Island Regional Planning Council will work pursuant to its Mission Statement to position itself to undertake its mandate to identify, investigate and propose immediate and long term implemental solutions for problems of regional concern. The LIRPC will conduct regional policy research and education and prepare reports on the most pressing issues facing Long Island, with the specific goal of presenting policy recommendations for the region’s business, civic, academic, not-for profit and government leaders. To do this, the LIRPC will continue to work cooperatively with federal, state, local and interstate governments, agencies and authorities, along with private stakeholders and the public at large.

The LIRPC will draw on the best information and practices from around the region and collaborate with local municipalities, academic institutions, organizations and stakeholders on a range of issues, including housing, transportation, energy, social, economic and racial equity, open space/natural resource preservation, water resources, solid waste management, coastal zone management, agriculture, government efficiency, economic development, the environment and overall quality of life. The LIRPC will promote regional identity that fosters public dialogue and greater cooperation between and among jurisdictions.
