Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council

Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov, serving as a Council of Governments for the Florida region encompassing Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties. The organization specializes in regional economic development, disaster recovery, and environmental planning services, functioning as an inter-municipal coordination body that supports strategic economic and community development initiatives. As a government entity, it provides critical planning and coordination services to various federal agencies, primarily focusing on regional economic resilience, environmental assessment, and emergency management preparedness.

Through federal grant awards, Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has executed several significant projects across multiple federal agency programs. The Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded the council two substantial grants: a $1,050,000 project to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) from 2023-2025, and a $500,000 disaster recovery capacity-building grant for hurricane-impacted regions starting in 2025. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 provided a $500,000 cooperative agreement for brownfields assessment activities, enabling the council to conduct environmental site assessments, community meetings, and cleanup planning in four Florida counties. The organization has also received sub-grants from the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management for hazardous materials transportation planning and training activities, demonstrating its multifaceted role in regional infrastructure, environmental remediation, and emergency preparedness efforts.
