decision makers on issues of infrastructure improvements, transportation safety, traffic
management, community development, environmental planning and economic development;
and
WHEREAS, one goal is to work cooperatively as local governments to maximize
their images, services, and communities, while improving the quality of life for their citizens
through better communication and planning; and
WHEREAS, the caucus also strives to identify opportunities to promote and advance
the culture and interests of the River Region; and
WHEREAS, the caucus also seeks to increase awareness and to educate the public
and decision makers about the region.
