The focus of the League's environmental programs is:
to ensure that municipal concerns are addressed in the state and federal environmental regulatory process; and
to monitor the state and federal environmental rule-making process; and
to inform NC municipal officials about environmental issues and opportunities to become involved in the development of environmental policies.
Cities and towns are on the front line of environmental protection, providing a variety of environmental services to citizens and playing a critical role in protecting our valuable natural resources.
Municipal officials are committed to being stewards of the environment and have made environmental protection a major focus of the League's activities.
Below are broad environmental categories that the League follows for cities and towns and links to further information about specific issues within that category.
