Resource Management Plan (CRMP)

The Iron County Resource Management Plan (CRMP) was developed to facilitate cooperation and collaboration between the County and federal & state land management agencies in planning for natural resources in Iron County. The Iron CRMP was developed jointly with land management agencies and stakeholders and serves as the basis for future natural resources planning. The plan is included in Natural Resource Section of the Iron County General Plan and will be periodically updated.
