Athens County Regional Planning Commission faces solvency and efficacy issues as non paid members must provide income and effort. County commissioners pledge 3500 dollars but cannot pay. Nelsonville and Athens city funds delayed. Fifteen to twenty RPC members have skipped meetings, threatening quorums and the 1970 county plan. DPI needs funding to finish the comprehensive plan and sewer-water study.
