STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Port of Grapeview’s Strategic Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC), established in 2014, serves as a vital resource for the Port District’s growth and development. Members of the SPAC are residents appointed by resolution of the Port District, and their volunteer efforts significantly contribute to shaping the community’s future.
Drawing on their diverse knowledge and experiences, SPAC members provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the Port District. As a community-based advisory group, the SPAC evaluates issues, identifies needs, and presents thoughtful recommendations to the Commissioners for consideration and action.
The SPAC currently does not have standing monthly meetings but will convene as needed to address matters specifically assigned by the Port Commission. These assignments may arise as part of an annual work plan or through separate resolutions.
