Lisa Jackson, that's who.She's the new EPA Administrator-designee and she is already listing her goals for her tenure at this federal regulatory agency:
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- improving air quality
- managing chemical risks
- cleaning up hazardous waste sites
- protecting water resources
Luckily, Florence County planning is following similar thinking as the EPA. Starting last year with our close 'run-in' with air quality exceeding the EPA's ozone standard. Now, we are focusing on the Future Land Use element (at a public meeting near you) which will include protections for our rivers and stream while improving our governments' ability to provide services to residents.
Are you new too? ...to your neighborhood? ...to planning? ...to comprehensive plans?
