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.
