The Hillsborough County Economic Prosperity Stakeholder Committee (EPSC) held its second meeting Monday afternoon. EPSC was created in March to examine "the County’s regulatory structure and make recommendations to ease the burden and cost of regulatory oversight on economic development, while maintaining the County’s commitment to quality of life and responsible environmental stewardship," according to the Hillsborough County website.
The committee, chaired by Commissioner Sandra Murman and vice-chaired by Commissioner Les Miller Jr., is made up of 21 members that "represent development and land use interests, minority communities, small businesses, and economic development and environmental interests," according to the Hillsborough County website.
However the actual lists of committee members as a majority represent development industries, not the wide-range of interests that the County claims or that some would feel as more desirable for a committee that oversees regulations in regards to land use and development.
