Our Mission
The National Capital Planning Commission works with federal agencies as it seeks to preserve and enhance the extraordinary historical, cultural, and natural resources and federal assets of the National Capital Region to support the needs of the federal government and enrich the lives of the region's visitors, workers, and residents.
Strategic Plan
NCPC prepares a Strategic Plan that sets the goals that chart the agency's course over the next four years and the strategies used to gauge successes.
Strategic Plan
Core Activities
