Welcome to the Region 2 Planning

Welcome to the Region 2 Planning Commission Website

Planning is an important function of government.  Land use decisions impact the quality of people's daily lives.  The Region 2 Planning Commission (R2PC) was established to aid local governments in the counties of Hillsdale, Jackson, and Lenawee in making decisions which affect where you live, work, and recreate.

R2PC planners are also available to aid local governments who wish to develop recreation plans and other strategic documents and programs whose aim is to enhance the quality of life of their residents.  For example, the R2PC administers the Jackson Area Comprehensive Transportation Study (JACTS), which allocates the federal funding available for road and transit projects and programs in Jackson County.  Region 2 staff also provides assistance for transportation related safety programs throughout the 3 county area.

See the following web pages for more information on the R2PC
