What is The Rockland Municipal Planning Federation?

The Federation is comprised of Town or Village Board Members, Planning Board Members, and Zoning Board of Appeals Members from each municipality in Rockland County, plus members of the Rockland County Planning Board, and the Rockland County Department of Planning. Each Board may also designate two additional people to be members. In addition, any individual interested in the purposes of the Federation may become Associate Members.
What is the Purpose of the Federation?
The Purposes of the Federation are to create and maintain a forum in the County of Rockland for the discussion of topics and common problems of land use planning and regulation, zoning, and related problems of interest to the Federation and its members, to create an organization to promote the exchange of information, education, and training on planning and zoning methods and techniques, and to promote communication, cooperation, and understanding among various constituencies affected by the land use and planning decisions of local governments.
