Lake Champlain Lake George Regional Planning Board

The Lake Champlain Lake George Regional Planning Board is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2007, serving Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, and Washington Counties in New York. As a regional planning commission, the organization focuses on comprehensive economic development, environmental assessment, and regional infrastructure planning. The board operates as an inter-municipal government entity that collaborates with public and private sector stakeholders to develop strategic roadmaps for regional growth, sustainability, and community development.

The organization has secured multiple federal grants from agencies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Economic Development Administration (EDA), Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, and Rural Business Cooperative Services. Its grant work encompasses diverse projects such as brownfield assessment and cleanup planning, where it conducts environmental site assessments, holds community meetings, and develops site-specific cleanup plans. The board has also received grants to develop Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS), create regional safety action plans, and engage in watershed management initiatives. Through sub-grant awards with the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission, the board has undertaken projects involving septic system replacement, water quality education, pollutant source identification, and ecological management, such as mapping and prioritizing Eastern Hemlock tree stands in the Lake George watershed. These efforts demonstrate the organization's commitment to environmental preservation, economic development, and community resilience across its five-county region.
