Background: The Tombigbee Resource Conservation and Development Council is a nonprofit, IRS 501 (c) (3) tax exempt, charitable organization. The Tombigbee RC&D area was formed in 1974 and covers eight counties in west central Alabama. The original Area Plan was developed and signed in 1974.
The Area Plan has been reviewed and portions revised over the years but never completely revised. The Tombigbee RC&D council has taken public input through county meetings and council discussion groups. Input has been provided by regional organizations such as West Alabama Regional Planning and Development Council. This document will be reviewed annually and will be revised in five years.
