One of the programs under the umbrella of the Liberty Consolidated Planning Commission is the operation of the Hinesville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (HAMPO).
As a result of the 2000 Census, HAMPO was established pursuant to federal law to address transportation planning within the urbanized portions of Liberty and Long Counties , including Fort Stewart and the municipalities of Allenhurst, Flemington, Gum Branch, Hinesville, Midway, Riceboro, and Walthourville. Governor Perdue designated the City of Hinesville as the host of HAMPO in April 2003. HAMPO is operated under the leadership of a Policy Committee, comprised of elected officials and other decision makers from each participating jurisdiction, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and other state and federal agencies.
Technical Coordinating Committee and Citizens Advisory Committee will provide valuable input to the Policy Committee on transportation issues. |
