"Thank you so much for your Housing Initiative/Rehabilitation Pilot Program. Because of your support, we received a brand-new HVAC system, and after living in our home for over 35 years, it has truly made such a meaningful difference for our family." - Local Resident
"North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC) was an invaluable partner throughout our sewer project. Their expertise, organization, and support helped us work through challenges and successfully complete the project while meeting all state requirements. Thank you, NCRPC!" - City of Glasco, KS
"NCRPC helped Esbon apply for funding to replace its 100-year-old water mains. It was an overwhelming project for the city.

The Esbon community is thankful that NCRPC and its excellent staff guided us through this project." - City of Esbon, KS
