With the Comprehensive Plan completed and the Shale Guides all but wrapped up, the Committee was looking for a new project. Committee members decided to tackle one of the priority action items from the Comprehensive Plan, namely the issue of stormwater. The Indiana County Office of Planning and Development (ICOPD) had been tasked with implementing a countywide stormwater ordinance. After much research and discussion, the decision was made to hold an educational workshop dealing with all things stormwater. The group received $5,000 from the League’s Water Resource Education Network (
WREN) to hold “a stormwater education and management workshop for municipal and county officials and engineers.”
