The George Washington Regional Commission is the “planning district commission” established by the General Assembly for the region comprising the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford. We are charged with encouraging and facilitating local government cooperation and state-local cooperation to address, on a regional basis, problems of greater than local significance. We pride ourselves on our ability to work effectively in the areas of economic development, homeless services and support, environmental protection, transportation and commuting, sharing best practices, convening, incubating new regional efforts, mapping and professional grant support services, and helping find common ground and vision for an economically and geographically diverse region.

Last week, GWRC held its annual staff retreat in Fredericksburg, VA. Staff from across all programs came together to work on the strategic plan update and brainstorm ways to break down silos between each department. After the strategic planning portion of the retreat, @Friends of the Rappahannock took staff members on a paddle tour of the Rappahannock River! Past staff retreat locations include King George County and the Towns of Bowling Green and Port Royal.
