Our Mission
Statement:
"To strengthen the
quality of life throughout the Richmond region by serving as

issues of regional significance, providing technical
assistance to localities, and promoting and enhancing the
collective consensus on the economic, transportation,
social, environmental, and demographic interests of the
region.”

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 August 14, 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:
-
Identify issues and opportunities of an interjurisdictional nature
-
Establish plans and policies for
addressing those regional issues
-
Identify
ways and means for state and local governments and the private
sector to implement programs
-
Help promote cooperation among state and local governments issue
resolution
-
Provide technical assistance and information services to its member
jurisdictions
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.
