The Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council is a voluntary association of local governments in Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy counties focused on promoting coordinated regional development. Click here for the 2005-2010 Regional Strategic Plan.

Since its formation 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.

The LRGVDC is the regional entity charged with reviewing grant applications and state and federal development and environmental assessments and impact statements before they are funded or approved, in compliance with the Texas Review and Comment System (TRACS).

LRGVDC procedures and requirements for TRACS review are provided on this site's Community Development page.
