LCOG staff participates in the development and implementation of state planning policy. By offering expertise that concerns local and regional planning issues and programs, LCOG seeks to help improve the implementation of state-wide planning policy.

LCOG’s participation can include analysis of policy issues; preparation of draft administrative rules, legislative concepts, and guides; preparation of case studies; facilitation of policy dialogues; and mediation of public policy disputes.

One recent LCOG activity that will help the planning efforts of LCOG member governments, and the Lane County region as a whole, is the adoption of coordinated population projections. The Lane County Coordinated Population Projections (see below) reflect a joint action by the LCOG Board and all member jurisdictions setting a common planning base for the region.
