Historical Note
Nevada’s legislature created the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency (TMRPA) in 1989 to foster coordination among the three local governments: the cities of Reno and Sparks and Washoe County. TMRPA is comprised of the Regional Planning Governing Board (RPGB), the Regional Planning Commission (RPC) and the TMRPA’s Executive Director and staff members.
