The West Virginia Regional Planning & Development Councils coordinate closely with their regional affiliates to promote stability, growth and progress in West Virginia, especially assisting local jurisdictions too small to maintain staff for grant writing and planning. They effectively utilize funding resources and maximize small communities' chances of attracting funds from federal, state, and local organizations to foster community and cooperation throughout the state.  Their focus is on expansion and improvement of: water and sewer facilities, infrastructure, transportation, employment, industry, housing, health care, education and recreation.
