Take Part in Planning

Let us know what you think about plans and studies while they are in their formative stages. NCPC hosts many public meetings each year at our offices and other local venues. Announcements are posted under Upcoming Events.

NCPC encourages the public to submit written comments on drafts of our initiatives as well as any project under review by the Commission.

In the Public Comment Opportunities section, you can:

• View announcements of official public comment periods

• Download documents related to environmental review and historic preservation consultation processes
• Learn more about the public comment process

Please contact us to obtain documents related to plan and project review, including submission materials.

Note: All public notices, comment opportunities, and events are posted on our website and announced in monthly E-newsletters and Tentative Agendas.

Invite a Planner to Your Community

Our planners participate in local community fairs, public forums, career days, and meetings of neighborhood groups. If you would like someone from NCPC to speak about any aspect of federal planning for the region at your upcoming event, please contact us.
