Many regional projects and services have been accomplished since the inception of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council (LRGVDC) in 1967. The LRGVDC has served as a link between federal and state programs and a means for local units of government to join together in developing services and strategy, thus eliminating duplication of effort and encouraging economic efficiency. In an effort to assess current services and to provide for the continuance of progressive programs the LRGVDC Membership evaluates and adopts the Council?s Annual Work Program (AWP).
