The West Piedmont Planning District Commission (WPPDC) has been selected to participate in the 2025 Community Investment Training through the Rural Investment Collaborative initiative.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Rural Investment Collaborative convenes rural leaders and local community champions from South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Washington D.C. to participate in shared learning and programming that facilitates improvements.
A signature focus of the Collaborative is to routinely provide Community Investment Training that can help more communities develop viable funding proposals for projects that will make an impact in rural areas. During the training, the WPPDC will work on a proposal focused on creating a seven-unit housing development in the City of Martinsville for low to moderate-income residents.
“This training equips us with essential tools needed to effectively plan, fund, and implement our housing initiatives,” said Sean Campbell, Housing Director for the WPPDC. ” We are excited to be selected to participate in this training which is an incredible opportunity to enhance our skills and strengthen our capacity to serve our communities effectively.”
