Municipal delegates from the 18 members of the Conference of Western Wayne met last week in Wayne City Hall. The group coordinates 9-1-1 services for 730,000 residents in a 340 square mile region. Delegates meet monthly to discuss issues such as legislation, transportation, public safety, substance abuse prevention, community and economic development, employment and the environmental health of the region. The Conference is the access point for funneling information to local units from county, state and federal agencies.
The organization works as a liaison between local government and many service organizations by representing members on various committees and boards. These communities have been working regionally to enhance this area of Wayne County for 40 years, according to the organization website.
