  • Mission [1]
    • We are the central planning agency for the federal government in Washington, D.C. and the counties of Prince George’s and Montgomery in Maryland; Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun in Virginia, plus the independent cities and towns within the outer boundaries of these counties. We develop plans and review development proposals that enhance the National Capital’s extraordinary historical, cultural, and natural resources. Our long-range plans anticipate the needs of the federal establishment well into the 21st century, while our shorter-term initiatives proactively address its more immediate requirements. We conduct research to provide practical information to federal and local decision makers needed to formulate development policy in the National Capital Region (NCR). We partner with other federal agencies, local governments, private organizations, and citizens to create a more beautiful and livable capital.
