CDRPC Governing Body

Twenty Board members, five from each county, are appointed by their respective County Legislative Bodies to serve as the policy making body for the Commission. At least 51% of the Board must consist of elected or appointed government officials. Though its core programs serve the four counties, CDRPC has a nine-county jurisdiction for regional aviation system planning and an ten-county area for Foreign Trade Zone activity.
