The Joint Land Use Study was completed with the involvement of a number of individuals and agencies in the community. Special thanks should be paid to the
Gulf Regional Planning Commission, which administrated the JLUS, particularly Elaine Wilkinson and Ashley Skellie.
Three committees guided the JLUS process and developed the Joint Land Use Study – the Policy Committee, Advisory Committee and Technical Committee.
