Regional Planning

Area Development Districts are focused on developing and sustaining the fundamental building blocks for our state, regions, and local communities in today's rapidly changing global marketplace. This includes our traditional emphasis on strategic planning and project funding for clean and safe drinking water systems, health care facilities, affordable housing, small business development, and transportation improvements.

We recognize that economic development is the cornerstone of creating a multi-faceted network of vibrant, thriving communities. That's why the ADDs have helped their communities secure over $300 million in Economic Development Administration assistance  for job creation and retention initiatives.

 

Social Services

Today, our programs and expertise extends even further, into areas such as aging, broadband, emergency preparedness, environmental stewardship, and workforce development.
