Davis New Chair of
Regional Planning Commission
St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis will serve as Chair of the Regional Planning Commission for 2006. A member of the RPC since 1988, Davis previously served as chair in 1992, 1996, and 2001.
The Regional Planning Commission for Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard and St. Tammany Parishes is a 26-member board of local elected officials and citizen members appointed to represent citizens on regional issues.
“I am honored to serve as the Regional Planning Commission chair for 2006,” said Davis. “Post-Katrina, regional cooperation and planning are an even higher priority for southeastern Louisiana. From transportation to comprehensive planning, the RPC makes major decisions about our future. The five parish region needs to participate fully in these planning processes.”
