Mr. Charles Ball, Executive Director
The Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (RPCGB) provides planning services, economic development services and multiple initiatives for six counties and 84 communities throughout central Alabama. RPCGB works through a consultation process with local governments, citizens, non-profits and the private sector in Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, St. Clair, Shelby and Walker counties. It is through this process that opportunities and cost effective solutions are identified to assure physical and economic growth for everyone. The Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham is an association of local governments within Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby and Walker Counties. The Regional Planning Commission was formed in 1963 as a service agency to assist local governments. In 1969, the Alabama Legislature authorized creation of the Regional Councils and designated the Regional Planning Commission as such for the Greater Birmingham Area. The Regional Planning Commission, an advisory planning agency, provides technical assistance and makes recommendations to local governments.
