The Region VII Planning and Development Council, established by the West Virginia Legislature in 1971, aims to promote stability, growth, and progress throughout West Virginia. Serving as a development district, the council works to effectively utilize funding resources and maximize opportunities for local communities to attract federal, state, and local funds for community and economic development.
Located in the central portion of West Virginia, Region VII encompasses seven counties—Barbour, Braxton, Gilmer, Lewis, Randolph, Tucker, and Upshur—along with 24 municipalities. The council provides essential services, including assistance with grant applications, project planning, and management, ensuring that funding is properly administered and program guidelines are followed.
