The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is our region’s comprehensive planning organization. The agency and its partners are developing OnTo 2050, a new long-range plan to help the seven counties and 284 communities of Northeastern Illinois implement strategies that address transportation, housing, economic development, open space, the environment, and other quality-of-life issues.
The Illinois Section of the American Water Works Association (ISAWWA) is part of the national American Water Works Association. Its mission is to provide resources for the management and advocacy of safe and sustainable drinking water for Illinois.
The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus provides a forum through which elected officials of the region cooperatively develop consensus on common public policy issues and multi-jurisdictional challenges. With a foundation of collaboration and consensus-based decision making, it serves a number of functions for its partner organizations and local governments.
The Northwest Water Planning Alliance (NWPA), formed by intergovernmental agreement, seeks to collaboratively plan for and steward its region’s shared river and groundwater resources to ensure a sustainable water supply for the people, economy, environment, and future generations.
