History

MORPC was founded in 1943, as the Franklin County Planning Commission to address issues related to growth in the region. It gradually grew to encompass multiple counties. The organization became the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) in 1969. Its program areas include transportation, water, housing and community development, and zoning. The organization was headquartered in Downtown Columbus until 2007, when it moved into the city's nearby Brewery District.
