Regional Plan Association

Regional Plan Association (RPA) is an independent, non-profit civic organization with a founding date of 1929, dedicated to the enhancement of the economic health, environmental resiliency, and quality of life in the New York metropolitan area. RPA's impact is far-reaching, with significant involvement in the development of public works, economic initiatives, and open space projects. Their initiatives have contributed to diverse projects such as the George Washington Bridge, the revitalization of downtown Brooklyn, Stamford, and Newark, as well as the preservation and development of open spaces in various areas including the Palisades, Governors Island, and Gateway National Recreation Area. RPA's influence extends to policy development and public engagement, notably through their annual spring conference, the Assembly, which gathers leaders and professionals to deliberate the region's pressing challenges. With a rich history dating back to the 1920s, RPA has produced four landmark regional plans, the most recent of which was released in November 2017. The organization engages in research on transportation, land use, housing, good governance, and the environment, offering advice to cities, communities, and public agencies. While information about the company's specific industries and recent investment activity is not available, RPA's long-standing presence and influential contributions position it as a key player in shaping the future of the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan region.
