Citizens Commission on the Environment

The Fulton County Commission on the Environment, or FCCCE, is a citizen advisory group appointed by the Board of Commissioners. The purpose of the FCCCE is to investigate environmental concerns; to make recommendations to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on environmental policies, and to increase public awareness and understanding about environmental issues.
