Advisory Committees
The Port Authority has three advisory committees: the Riverfront Redevelopment Site Advisory Committee, Richards-Gebaur Advisory Committee and the Problem Gaming Committee. The advisory committees meet periodically and on an as-needed basis.
The advisory committees are composed of Port Authority Commissioners, Port Authority Staff, local community representatives, politicians and stakeholder groups. The advisory committees participate in development of ideas, criteria and evaluation, in order to provide community perspective, information, and feedback on particular projects.
