The Logan County Regional Planning Commission (LCRPC) acts as an advisory body that is responsible for directing the short and long range growth of the county.

The Planning Commission is made up of nine community members charged with acting in the public interest but serve at the pleasure of the County Board. Commission members are nominated and approved by the County Board to serve terms of three years. In addition, five elected or appointed ex-officio members have a seat coterminous with their term in office (Mayors, Highway Commissioner, Board Chair)

The Executive Director of the LCRPC is assigned the duties of carrying out the day-to-day responsibilities of the Commission. Duties could include setting up monthly meetings, setting agendas, scheduling speakers and guests, coordinating between the Commission and other government/civilian entities, and interacting with the public on behalf of the Commission.

The LCRPC acts as an advisory board to the County Zoning Office and the County Board. The mission of the LCRPC is to ensure that land use decisions are consistent with policies of the County as well as in the public interest.

Regular meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month. The public is encouraged to attend.
