Trenton, Missouri, since 1967

Eleven counties, one planning table.

Green Hills Regional Planning Commission was formed in 1967 as a voluntary association of local governments. We partner with rural communities on housing, transportation, infrastructure, waste and economic development.

Our work in the region

Community development

Getting community projects in line for the 2027 CDBG cycle

GHRPC invited municipal leaders, county commissioners and community partners to a virtual session on September 22, 2026, to start identifying projects: demolition and blight removal, water and wastewater, community facilities, and project readiness.

Your next step: in GHRPC’s words, now is the time to get a project on the radar. Contact Lisa Colson, ext. 23.

Economic development

Four 90-minute sessions for people starting a business

Sessions run 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.: being your own boss (Jan. 14), value-added agriculture (Feb. 11), Show Me the Money! (Mar. 11) and perfecting your pitch (Apr. 8). A pitch competition is still to be dated.

Also: the Resource Rail and MOSourceLink’s network of 700+ business resource organizations.
