Subcommittee Updates

Built Environment DRCOG Chair: Christine Connally Co-Chair: Kirk Hayer

DRCOG purchased business and residential data for the region to help with our initiatives (Land Use Model and MetroVision).

DRCOG is working on sharing agreements right now.

The Land Use Model is now working in draft form and we’ll continue to refine it for the next year.

Decisions have been made to consolidate some building types for model purposes. The data model is being updated based on subcommittee recommendations.

No upcoming meetings are scheduled.
