The
Richmond Regional PDC serves as an information clearinghouse that supports
internal planning functions, information needs of the agency's member
governments and requests for information about the region from other public and
private sector organizations. The PDC collects and disseminates
information from its member governments; the U.S. Bureau of the Census; the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics; the Bureau of Economic Analysis; the Virginia
Employment Commission; Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University
of Virginia; and from a host of other federal, state, and local agencies.
Copies of completed documents and statistics are included in this section.
The PDC also houses the Street Name Clearinghouse program whose goal it is to
eliminate street name duplication and sound-alike in street names for the
region. This advisory program is offered to each of the region’s nine
localities. The regional street name directory is found on the PDC web
site.
