The Richmond Regional Planning District Commission is a regional planning agency with major emphasis in the areas of transportation, local technical assistance and information services including demographic, economic and geographic information systems.
The Commission, which was formed by local governments November 25, 1969 under the authority of the Virginia Area Development Act—revised and retitled the Regional Cooperation Act in 1995—is comprised of elected officials and citizens who address mutual problems and work out solutions for the local governments which benefit from intergovernmental cooperation.
The Richmond Regional PDC's major objectives are to:
The counties within the Richmond region rely on the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission to coordinate and facilitate regional cooperation, solving mutual problems which cross boundary lines. As the state forges ahead, it is becoming increasingly apparent that once individual, local issues addressed at that local level have developed into greater regional concerns, requiring regional discussions and policies. It is this direction that the Richmond Regional PDC strives to provide to our localities and as a result, to the state of Virginia itself.
