The South Florida Regional Planning Council is one of Florida’s ten regional planning councils, which are directed by the Florida Legislature to plan and coordinate intergovernmental solutions to growth-related problems, provide technical assistance to local governments and meet other needs of its communities. The council was formed in 1969 as the Tri-County Jetport Council to address issues related to the proposed development of the “Everglades Jetport” in Big Cypress.
The council serves three counties: Monroe, Miami-Dade and Broward; 71 municipalities; and 4.3 million residents. Over the next 20 years, the region is expected to grow to an increasingly diverse estimated population of more than 4.9 million residents.
