Pioneer Valley Planning Commission
What is a regional planning agency?
A planning agency is a public organization that helps cities and towns come together to address shared challenges and plan for a better future. Issues like transportation, housing, climate change, and economic growth often span across town lines, requiring coordinated solutions. Planning agencies bring communities to the table, provide expert guidance, and help secure funding to move important projects forward. By encouraging collaboration and long-term thinking, planning agencies support smart, sustainable growth that improves quality of life across the region.
