Community & Economic Development
What We Do
The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) works with its 43 member cities and towns to advance economic growth and community development across the region. We collaborate with municipalities, businesses, and local organizations to support job creation, housing initiatives, downtown revitalization, and infrastructure improvements. PVPC offers essential services including grant writing, project management, and long-term planning to help communities secure funding and achieve their goals. By aligning local priorities with technical expertise and resources, PVPC strengthens regional economies and enhances quality of life throughout the Pioneer Valley.
Available Programs
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a regional planning framework that identifies economic priorities, outlines strategies for sustainable growth, and guides public and private investments to strengthen the regional economy.
