Dayton, OH – The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the 2015 Annual Report entitled “Making A Difference.”  It is available for download at www.mvrpc.org/about-mvrpc. 

“The theme - “Making A Difference” – was chosen specifically to emphasize how MVRPC plays a regional role every day. We serve as the conduit between local, state and federal governments to ensure proper environmental, land use, and transportation planning happen on a broad basis so the entire Miami Valley Region benefits and thrives,” explained Brian O. Martin, AICP, MVRPC’s Executive Director.
