“PD 16 is the fourth-largest and fastest-growing of the Commonwealth’s 21 planning districts. The GWRC’s current areas of focus include economic development, environmental services, human services (including homeless services support), affordable housing, transportation demand management, and rural and urban transportation planning.”
