The Richland County Planner Office, the City/County Planning Board and the Richland County Health Department are working together to develop the First "State of the Community" County-Wide Conference.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Conference. Your input and participation helped to truly make our efforts pay-off. Session notes and Conference materials will be made available as they are gone through. It is our hope to have all information available by the middle of June.

The issues discussed included: Housing, Education, Safety, Public Services, Public Facilities, Cultural and Natural Resources, Agriculture and the Economy.
