The exact reasons for this inaction were not given, but the result re= mains the same: St. Joseph County reneged on its pledge to be a "full participant" in an area wide planning organization in which our County is a major factor. MACOG was created to give local elected officials an opportunity to cooperate in attacking pro- blems that have a reginal impact. in fact, the Federal Government has announced that such area wide planning groups serving as clearinghouse bodies for reginal planning activities must review applications of affected governmental units before they can be granted Federal monies. How does this effect us? This simply means that all Comprehensive planning monies and a full range of Federally assisted programs (including Highway development, planning and const'n, Water & sewage programs, health centers, Urban renewal programs) must be reviewed by MACOG before Federal Government approval. If MACOG fails, St. Joseph County and the City of South Bend are not eligible for funding these programs!
