Regional Development Organizations
There are nine Regional Development Commissions (RDC) that were established by Minnesota statute in 1969 to provide technical assistance to the local units of government in their region. RDCs perform a variety of unique services based on the needs of their region. RDCs partner with numerous state and federal agencies, obtaining and administering grants for programs and projects at the local level. The West Central Initiative Foundation performs some of the same functions as an RDC. Collectively the organizations are known as Regional Development Organizations (RDOs).
