Purpose

The North Texas Commission is dedicated to advocating, marketing and fostering collaboration in North Texas. Through a summit on resources, NTC intends to develop a forum for discussion about a major regional crisis that affects North Texas, short-term and long-term water needs.

The purpose of this forum is to discuss the issue in a non-partisan, neutral setting with the goal of identifying how the NTC members and partners may collaborate to address these issues and help sustain an economically vibrant region.
