Region 1 Planning Council
Region 1 Planning Council (R1) is a special-purpose, regional government agency designated to coordinate intergovernmental collaboration. This regional model provides an efficient means to promoting a well-informed, comprehensive dialogue that holistically addresses regional issues by fulfilling the needs of government entities for long-range planning, securing funding, and analyzing and providing data in support of regional projects and initiatives.
Essential to fulfilling its purpose as a planning commission, R1 is a designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO), economic development district (EDD), geographic information system (GIS), and land bank. Services also extend to a wide variety of economic development assistance, fund development, and research and analytics.
R1 allows policymakers to understand how a project can influence multiple aspects of community, including: housing, education, environment, transportation, community health, and economic development.
