Project Planning and Applications
Our staff can identify potential funding sources and determine the best possible funding mix to complete various community projects. The NCRPC has successfully prepared grant and loan applications, alone or with partner agencies, to several sources included in our funding opportunities resource pages.

Project Administration
After receiving notice of a funding award, there is still work ahead. Our staff can help manage your project to ensure compliance with the requirements set by your funding source. These requirements vary depending on the source. Typical project administration includes implementation, reporting, and closeout.
Capital Improvement Planning
Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) act as long term guides that provide a schedule of construction or acquisition of capital improvements and provide a framework for how they will be funded. Cities, counties and non-profit entities all benefit from the capital improvement planning process. Those with a plan in place also have an easier time accessing funding from federal and state sources. Our step-by-step “recipe” approach will help guide your city, county, or non-profit toward a usable plan that will help chart a five-year plan of action leading to enhanced decision making for improvements. Whether you are developing or updating a CIP—NCRPC staff will provide valuable resources and planning assistance.
Meeting Facilitation
Have you found your organization ready to plan for the future or facing a difficult situation and needing an objective outside voice to lead the discussion? Sometimes an experienced facilitator is all it takes to keep the discussion productive and moving forward. Contact us about facilitating sessions for small and medium size groups, particularly related to community issues.
Environmental Reviews and Assessments
The NCRPC has expertise to assist communities, financial institutions, housing authorities, attorneys, and utility districts with various types of environmental reviews. Regardless of the nature of the project, we can provide analysis related to project impact on the environment. Staff have completed HUD Region VII Environmental Review Training.
