North Carolina Regional Planning Groups
The Sustainable Communities Task Force legislation identifies 11 metro regions of the state, which roughly mirror the regional planning groups as shown in this map. These groups continue to work on sustainability efforts at the municipal and regional levels. Some have garnered prominent national grants while others continue to receive other commendations and funding.
