Old Colony Planning Council (OCPC)

The Old Colony Planning Council (OCPC) was established in 1967 as a comprehensive regional agency to "prepare plans for the physical, social and economic development of the District". OCPC serves 17 communities in Southeastern Massachusetts responding to a growing need of local communities to be able to address the multitude of problems that cross over local boundaries such as air and water pollution, transportation deficiencies and economic distress. OCPC also provides technical planning assistance, works with local councils on aging, and coordinates the regional transportation improvement plan.
