About us
The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission is an intergovernmental membership organization that provides a variety of programming in the areas of regional, environmental, and transportation planning; economic, community, and workforce development; social services; early childhood education; and technical assistance in East Central Illinois. As a multi-faceted government agency, we administer over 100 federal and state grants and contracts with an annual operating budget of $25 million. We have a staff of over 230 professionals housed in 12 locations serving more than 30,000 clients annually. In 2016, the RPC reached a 50-year milestone in promoting, planning, and facilitating improvements to the health, safety, welfare, education, economic conditions, environment, and development within our region. We are proud of our many achievements over the past 50 years and look forward to continuing to develop collaborative strategies to improve the quality of life and economic vitality of our region. Formed in 1966, the RPC cultivates partnerships and alliances that range from the federal government to local boards, councils, and committees. We work collaboratively with stakeholders to address community issues, create and advance comprehensive plans and strategies, and provide quality services to the citizens of our region. As the RPC looks to the future, we seek new opportunities to expand and impact our community beyond the current measures of success. As we explore these opportunities, our work may take shape in new and exciting ways, beyond what has been the norm in terms of our service area and approach to programming. We will approach the future with innovative practices and solutions that will enable us to better serve community needs and support sustainability for future growth. We recently re-branded ourselves to represent what the next 50 years of services will bring. Our new tagline provides the context for our daily efforts: PEOPLE.POSSIBILITIES.

There are 5.8 million unemployed Americans, yet employers across the country report that they struggle to find qualified workers to fill the 9.6 million current job openings. Workforce development professionals like those with the RPC’s Workforce Development program help connect employers with jobseekers, and jobseekers with training resources to bridge this divide. #WorkforceDevelopmentMonth #WDM2024
