The Council on Resources and Development (CORD) provides
a forum for interagency cooperation in assuring consistency
with established policies relating to the environment,
natural resources, and growth management issues under
RSA
162-C. CORD is also responsible for resolving
interagency conflicts in the implementation of the
state’s tourism policy, for oversight of the statewide
public boat access program, and for reviewing the
disposal of state owned real property.
Principal
among CORD’s duties is the implementation of the state’s
smart growth policy, as embodied in RSA
9-B. CORD is responsible for encouraging smart
growth consistency in the distribution of state agency
funds to local and regional entities, the capital
budget requests of state agencies, state agency facility
location planning, and building operation and maintenance
plans. Every four years, CORD is required to report
to the Legislature on its findings on the consistency
of state agency actions with the smart growth principles.
CORD also facilitates the coordination of state, regional,
and local planning consistent with RSA
9-A.
The Director of OEP serves as CORD chairman. CORD member agencies include:
