What is the Northwest Regional Planning Commission?

The Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) is one of eleven commissions serving Vermont municipalities.  NRPC is a governmental organization uniquely positioned to coordinate and guide activities between state and local governments. Our region is made up of 23 municipalities (19 towns, 3 incorporated villages, and 1 city) located in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties in northwestern Vermont.

Commissioners appointed by local governments serve on the Board of Commissioners and guide the work of NRPC. The Board meets monthly with topics covering a broad range of concerns: regional land use issues, transportation priorities, emergency preparedness, economic development, natural resource issues, public/private sector cooperation, and review of Act 250 projects.
