The Regional Intergovernmental Council assists in the grant writing and administration for the 30 county and municipal governments within Boone, Clay, Kanawha and Putnam counties. These grant applications focus on:

• infrastructure projects (water, sewer, and storm sewers)

• community development projects (sidewalks, community centers, parks, senior centers, and volunteer fire stations)

• planning projects (comprehensive plans, planning grants, and land use grants)

RIC has also contributed technical assistance and grant writing to volunteer groups at the request of a municipal government. The Regional Intergovernmental Council will continue to cooperate with other agencies and citizens in development activities.
