The goal of RC&D is to ensure a desirable
quality of life and standard of living for all citizens in our
communities now and in the future.
What Is RC&D?
RC&D is short for Resource Conservation and Development.
RC&D is a unique program that helps people protect and develop
their economic, natural, and social resources in ways that improve their
area's economy, environment, and quality of life.
RC&D provides a way for people to plan and implement projects
that will make their communities a better place to live.
RC&D brings together people, needs, concerns, opportunities, and
solutions.
RC&D is as much a way of doing things – a process – as it is a
program.
RC&D provides “facilitated self-help” for conservation and
economic development in communities.
RC&D provides a framework for dealing with issues through citizen
participation.
RC&D is action-directed. It accomplishes what is planned and
agreed to by communities, public and private organizations, and programs
– all working together.
RC&D is a unique combination of private enterprise and federal
assistance that encourages the blending of natural resources use with
local economic and social values.
RC&D is a People’s Program.
