Description

As the fifties drew to a close it became evident that many of the issues evolving in Grays Harbor were not isolated within the limits of a single city, district, or agency. Local leaders looked for a way to address these multi-jurisdictional issues in a neutral forum, beneficial to all participants. Subsequently, the Grays Harbor Regional Planning Commission (GHRPC) was founded in 1960. The Agency was formed under the Planning Enabling Act of 1959, as amended, Section 36.70 R.C.W. The initial agreement was signed on February 18, 1960, and the first formal meeting was held on March 24, 1960. The Agency was, and still remains, based on a consortium of members representing the interests and needs of local governments, districts, and organizations within the boundaries of Grays Harbor County. The goal of their combined efforts is to protect and enhance the economy, environment, and quality of life in Grays Harbor. In 2000 our members reassessed the function of the organization and the role it held in local government. It was agreed that a name change would more appropriately reflect the purpose of the organization. Therefore, in February of 2000, the name of the Agency was officially changed to the Grays Harbor Council of Governments.
