Regional Planning

UVLSRPC plays a crucial role in regional planning by facilitating collaboration among municipalities to address common challenges and pursue shared opportunities. By fostering partnerships between your municipalities and promoting coordinated planning strategies, we strive to enhance quality of life, economic vitality, and environmental sustainability across our region.

UVLSRPC participates in many regional initiatives, partnering with state agencies, RPCs, and municipalities to help guide our future. We’re happy to discuss new initiatives, so contact us with your ideas!

Regional Comprehensive Plan

Each regional planning commission in NH is mandated by law to provide guidance to municipalities on development and land use through a Regional Plan. NH Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 36:47 III:

“In preparing a comprehensive plan for the development of the region within its jurisdiction, each regional planning commission may use the framework for the state’s comprehensive development plan in RSA 9-A:1,III as the basis for its plan. Such plan shall be updated every 5 years or sooner if desired by the regional planning commission.”
