Cawaco Area Plan

T his document is the long-range plan of the Cawaco Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council, Inc., of Central Alabama.  It was developed by soliciting public input through a survey of citizens, organizations and stakeholders in the five county area served by Cawaco RC&D. In addition to the survey results, a web poll was conducted, and Council members provided guidance in the development of this plan. The counties served by this area plan include the following: Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby and Walker.

The Resource Conservation and Development Program was developed based on the premise that local people, working together, can identify and solve problems and realize opportunities that will enhance the quality of life in their area.  Plans are designed to direct Federal, State, and local resources toward accomplishing the purpose of the RC&D Program and are consistent with needs identified in the RC&D planning process.

The purpose of this plan is to provide strategic direction for the organization. The organization is stronger than ever before, yet more efforts are needed to ensure a strong sustainable organization that serves the communities in our area.
