Precinct 3 Commissioner Will Conley Elected Chair of CAMPO Board
Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – Hays County Commissioner Precinct 3 Will Conley has been selected to chair the Policy Board of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), the first time a chairman has been elected from outside the immediate Austin-Travis County area.
CAMPO is the regional planning group for local jurisdictions in five Central Texas counties – Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson. CAMPO coordinates regional transportation planning among counties, cities, the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Capital Area Rural Transportation System and the Texas Department of Transportation and approves the use of federal transportation funds within the region.
“CAMPO has been an excellent means for rural and urban Central Texas to plan together to meet our mutual, regional transportation needs,” Conley said. “I’m especially pleased at the confidence shown in me by my board colleagues because this is the first time that the Board has elected a chair from outside a mostly urban area. In recent years, counties in more rural areas have embraced regional transportation planning, and have stepped up to the plate in making it a priority.”
Conley, whose precinct extends from the Wimberley area of western Hays County into the San Marcos area, has been a Hays County commissioner since 2004 and has served on the CAMPO board since 2010. He also represents Hays County on other transportation planning organizations.
More information about CAMPO is available at www.campo.org.
