Virginia's Regional Competitiveness Program

RCP Summary

The New River Valley Planning District Commission and the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance, along with representatives from the various educational institutions in the region, form Virginia's New River Valley Regional Competitiveness Partnership. This Partnership promotes the economic competitiveness of the region.  Established through the passage of the Virginia Regional Competitiveness Act in 1996, the Regional Competitiveness Program (RCP) (a division of the Department of Housing and Community Development) enhances economic competitiveness for qualifying regions of the Commonwealth. This program was created to help communities strengthen their economic competitiveness through regional cooperation. The RCP provides an incentive for communities and regions to undertake new levels of regional activity to address obstacles to economic competitiveness. The program is designed to reward both existing regional behavior and stimulate new behavior: planning and acting regionally.

Virginia's New River Valley Regional Competitiveness Partnership serves the Counties of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and the City of Radford.  Staffing for the Partnership is provided by the New River Valley Planning District Commission.
