PlanRVA is where the region comes together to look ahead.

PlanRVA, established in 1969 following adoption of the Regional Cooperation Act by the VA General Assembly, is the convener, planner, and shaper of Central Virginia's future. 

Guided by our member local governments, we facilitate the Richmond region's physical, social, and economic development. We do this through:

  • holistic and coordinated planning and regional projects
  • strategic partnerships and collaboration
  • technical support and reliable data

PlanRVA manages regional programs and initiatives in the areas of community development, emergency management, the environment, and transportation.

We actively engage representatives from government, the private and nonprofit sectors, civic and community organizations, and the public to address critical regional issues.

PlanRVA is where we come together to look ahead.
