Kings County Association of Governments (KCAG) was formally created in 1967 to provide a cooperative body for the resolution of issues that go beyond established jurisdictional boundaries. KCAG is a voluntary association of local governments, designated by the state of California. The major roles of KCAG are:

• To exchange planning information between the member agencies as related to planned area-wide development with emphasis on transportation;

• the identification and study of problems in areas of urban growth affecting various agencies;

• to consider questions of mutual concern to the County, Cities and other agencies and make recommendations on an advisory basis;

• to provide for citizen involvement in the planning process and provide technical services to the member agencies;

• to operate as the regional transportation planning agency.

In each of these areas, KCAG acts as a consensus builder to develop an acceptable approach on how to solve problems that are regional in nature.

Blueprint Planning Process

Residents and stakeholders have provided input on how Kings County should grow over the next 40 years.
KCAG, in collaboration with planners from each of the Cities and County of Kings has prepared five alternative growth scenarios based on different land use assumptions, that provide unique illustrative concepts of how Kings County could look in the year 2050.

These growth scenarios were the focus of five public workshops held in May of 2008. Results from the four local workshops and the wrap-up workshop on May 22, 2008 are now available.

A summary of the vision and values from the first phase of the Blueprint public outreach is also available.
Please contact KCAG staff for more information.
