Featured Case Studies:

Issue: Trans Texas Corridor

Eastern Central Texas Sub Regional Planning Commission
Update: November 2009

After the Texas Legislature failed to stop the Trans Texas Corridor (quarter of a mile wide NAFTA superhighway), these five small towns and their school districts implemented coordination with the largest state agency in the nation. The latest result is October 2009 TXDOT announced they would not be building the I-35 Trans Texas Corridor. Although the fight is not over, it is a phenomenal victory for coordination.

Issue: Revision of US Forest Plan

Freemont County, Wyoming
Update: November 2009

Freemont County Commissioners invoked coordination with the US Forest Service on the revision of the Shoshone National Forest. Although the agency initially refused to share their draft plans with the county, they eventually entered into consistency review meetings with the county prior to the public release of the final plan giving the county the critical opportunity to negotiate potential problems before becoming policy.

Issue: Irrigation Operation and Maintenance Plan and Permitting of Water

Glen Lake Irrigation District, Montana
Update May 2010

GLID is the first irrigation district in the nation to implement coordination. They met great resistance from the US Forest Service which insisted on having approval of the district’s plan as well as insisting that GLID receive a permit for water which was already granted to the district. After three years of coordination, the agency agreed they had no say in the district’s plan nor could they require the permit. Coordination saved the district hundreds of thousands of dollars they would have otherwise had to spend to comply with the agencies' original position.

“I believed we could move or minimize the impact of the Trans-Texas Corridor, but I didn’t believe we could stop it. I was wrong. Through COORDINATION, we stopped the most powerful state agency dead in their tracks.”
