Created by the Chesapeake Executive Council in 1987, the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC) shares the views and insights of local elected officials with state and federal decision-makers and to enhance the flow of information among local governments about the health and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
LGAC’s mission is to share the views and insights of local elected officials with state and federal decision-makers and to enhance the flow of information among local governments about the health and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Staff support for the Local Government Advisory Committee is provided by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay through a Cooperative Agreement with the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program office.
