The Ohio Association of Regional Councils (OARC) is 21 regional agencies serving 1,525 local governments representing over 10.5 million residents of those communities around Ohio. OARC's mission is to coordinate voices at a state and federal level; to strengthen the role and authority of regional councils; and to collaborate, coordinate and solve problems in the areas of transportation, environment and land use planning within the framework of state policy. OARC has been in existence since 1977.
Please join us for OARC's Legislative Event on Wednesday, March 7 at The Columbus, a Renaissance Hotel in downtown Columbus.
OARC is presenting four position papers, which outline the goals that we think are as important to the state of Ohio as they are to the communities we serve.
On Monday, August 21, 2006, OARC hosted a Meet the Candidates Forum with both Ohio candidates for governor. Videos of the event are now available.
