Each year the Northeast Florida Regional Council solicits legislative priorities from our member governments. Prior to the start of the legislative session, NEFRC, with guidance from the Legislative Policy Committee, develops the Northeast Florida Regional Priorities. These priorities highlight critical issues for multiple counties and often have a regional impact. The Northeast Florida Regional Priorities for 2021 include specific examples of these needs identified across our local governments.
