MID-STATE RC&D DESCRIPTION
The Mid-State Resource Conservation and Development Council
is a non-profit organization that links concerned citizens with the resources needed
to solve local problems.
Currently serving Juniata, Mifflin, Perry, Snyder and Union Counties, the
Mid-State RC&D depends on a wide range of organizations, agencies, and local businesses,
including non-profits, social service and government.
From inception to completion, Mid-State RC&D empowers project sponsors by
equiping them with the tools neccessary to complete projects. Tools include: networking
people and organizations, locating potential grant sources, providing grant writing tips
and other technical assistance.
Projects undertaken by the Mid-State RC&D reflect its overall goal - to support
community and regional needes in the areas of economic improvement, natural resources,
and community and recreational services.
THE MID-STATE RC&D VISION
"PRIDE IN COMMUNITY; PARTNERSHIPS IN ACTION"
We believe that individuals, communities and public and private
organizations accross the region can work together to share responsibility and
resources. Together we can:
- Educate ourselves and our children,
- Conserve and protect our natural, economic and recreation resources, and
- Preserve our cultural heritage.
Therefore, we envision a region where the Mid-State RC&D is widely recognized as a catalyst
and/or partner for supporting creative strategies and projects to serve our communities.
THE MID-STATE RC&D MISSION
"TO ADDRESS THE LONG-TERM NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES BY
CONSERVING AND SHARING OUR COMMON RESOURCES"
To this end, we will work in partnership with citizens in Juniata, Mifflin
Perry, Snyder and Union Counties. Together, we will facilitate access to financial, educational
and technical resources required to support locally identified and initiated projects.
