Statewide Planning

Statewide planning refers to the systematic approach that states use to organize and manage resources, land use, transportation, and public services. It involves creating long-term goals and strategies to ensure sustainable development and improve the quality of life for residents. Through statewide planning, state governments assess current needs, anticipate future challenges, and coordinate efforts among various agencies and stakeholders. This process aims to balance economic growth, environmental protection, and community needs, ensuring that all areas of the state develop in a cohesive and efficient manner.
