Red River Regional Council The Red River Regional Council is a regional council of governments organized in 1972

Executive Order No. 49, dated September 18, 1969, established eight regions in North Dakota. The purpose of this order was to improve the efficiency and economy in state and local government through regional grouping of counties for planning and administration of state services. These eight regions are areas involving a combination of counties and cities which have a basic common denominator in their social, economic and cultural pattern of behavior, as well as in their geographic features and other influences. On February 9, 1972, a regional council was organized, consisting of one county commissioner and one soil conservation district supervisor from each of the seven counties in Region II. The Council was established to facilitate the development of a Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) project application. Initially the Council was organized as an independent, nonprofit, non-partisan, unincorporated group having as its primary concern the acceleration of the conservation, development, and proper use of the natural resources within the project area. The work of the Regional Council evolved into assisting the region with a variety of work areas that impact the communities and counties within the region. Often, the RRRC is the liaison between various levels of government as well as private funding sources to complete projects that are of the public interest and community betterment. Today, the RRRC assists with projects in the following program areas:

Community Development

Economic Development

Business Consulting

Gap Financing

Strategic Planning

Funding and Financial Packaging

Hazard Mitigation

Disaster Recovery

Historic Preservation

Housing Rehabilitation and Development

Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
