Regional Planning Councils

Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) are quasi-governmental organizations in Florida established under Florida Statutes, Chapter 186, to address problems and plan solutions that are of greater-than-local concern or scope, and to provide input into state policy development. RPCs assist local governments in addressing issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries, including growth management, economic development, environmental planning, transportation, emergency preparedness, housing, and disaster resiliency.
