Welcome to the Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency (SOCPA)
Our mission is to provide and promote effective planning by the County and its City, towns and villages.
Planning provides a long-range, comprehensive view to ensure high-quality built environments, cost-effective infrastructure, natural resource stewardship, and economic growth.
Planning promotes community values, satisfies community needs, and protects the environment within the County's fiscal ability.
The ultimate goal is a sustainable, attractive, and well maintained metropolitan area that can attract and support economic growth.
