ProgramsEconomic & Community Development

Whether you're looking for demographics, community resources, or small business resources, we have you covered with Economic and Community Development.

image The Community and Economic Development Department supports regional planning and fosters collaboration across the seven-county BVCOG region. Our team works closely with city and county officials to advance rural transportation planning, small business growth, community development, grant writing, demographic analysis, and GIS/mapping services. We also lead economic development initiatives by compiling industry, occupation, and workforce data, and providing technical assistance to communities—including help with identifying, applying for, and managing grants.
