The core planning and development area served by the North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC) includes 12 counties in North Central Kansas: Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Ellsworth, Jewell, Lincoln, Marshall, Mitchell, Ottawa, Republic, Saline, and Washington.
In addition to this primary service area, NCRPC staff oversee a variety of programs and projects with far-reaching impacts across much of Kansas. The NCRPC is also designated as an Economic Development District by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA). Each of the counties included in the core planning and development area are impacted by this designation in that they not only have the latitude to set goals and objectives, they also have access to EDA support for infrastructure projects of local and regional design that impact business development and job creation.
