What is the difference between TRPA and TPA?
A TRPA, the Talbot River Protection Association, is devoted solely to protecting and improving water quality in Talbot County. The goal of TPA, or Talbot Preservation Alliance, is to protect and improve land use policies and promote smart growth, with responsible land use planning, thus preserving the beauty and legacy of our natural heritage. Similarly to TRPA, they want to protect Talbot Countys precious environment and heritage including its waterways, farmland and historic small towns.
