Governor's Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal

The Sun Herald reports on progress

Where to next?

The Sun Herald is planning a series of reports on the Governor's Commission and its progress over the next two weeks.

The series started on Sunday May 7th, and will go on until May 18th.

You may already be familiar with the work of the Governor's Commission, but if not, you can find out more about it from the Commission's web site. In a nutshell, Haley Barbour set up a commission to study and plan for the recovery, rebuilding and renewal of The Coast after Katrina. The commission became known as a Charette after the rapid-development methods used to quickly create the 170+ page report that outlines plans and suggestions for the future of The Coast.

The full series of articles is already planned, and a list of their names and dates has been printed in the Sun Herald newspaper, and posted online on their web site. This is that list:

• May 7th: An overview of the commission's work
• May 8th: Land use
• May 9th: Transportation
• May 10th: Public services
• May 11th: Housing
• May 12th: Tourism
• May 13th: Small business
• May 14: Agriculture, forestry and marine resources
• May 15: Defense and government contracting
• May 16: Education
• May 17: Health and human services
• May 18: Non-governmental organizations

I'll post the articles here as they are printed, so watch the Saucier Community Blog daily over the next two weeks.
