Earlier this year, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor partnered with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center and the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs to develop a Wabash River Strategic Plan, which outlines important economic and environmental issues facing the region. The plan provides recommendations to the Wabash and Ohio Rivers Coordinating Council and focuses on seven topics:
- Business, industry, and agriculture
- Habitat
- Human resources
- Hydrology
- Recreation
- Research and monitoring
- Water quality
During the meeting, we will discuss the goals, objectives, and actions that relate to each topic. Your comments and recommendations will improve our ability to develop a plan that serves people living in the region. Click here to see if you live within the Wabash and Ohio Rivers region.
