REGIONAL INFORMATION

Southwest Regional Planning Commission (SWRPC)

Authorized in 1969  by state law, Southwest Region Planning Commission is one of New Hampshire’s nine regional planning agencies. SWRPC is an association of member municipalities in its service area, which covers 34 towns and approximately 1,000 square miles. SWRPC is governed by its Commissioners – representatives nominated by member municipalities. Commissioners, in turn, elect our Board of Directors, who provide regular guidance and oversight to SWRPC staff.

2020 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)

"The CEDS Advisory Committee developed the State of the Region Analysis using federal, state and local documents and data as well as through the input of various participants in the process. The State of the Region analysis initially presents a description of the region and its people, infrastructure (transportation, water, sewer, and telecommunications systems) and environmental issues. The document then summarizes the regional economy, touching on those elements necessary for a thriving marketplace – business and job opportunities, education and training, housing and transportation, citizen participation and government. In essence, the document provides a balanced approach to economic development and quality of life issues."
