About The RC&D Program
The RC&D Program provides a development process that is unique in that it is driven by a passion to mobilize local, state and national resources to address economic, social, and environmental and quality of life issues on the ground where those issues occur. Often that ground is rural America and the partnerships formed are rooted in the communities being served. CT RC&D helps people protect and develop their economic, natural, and social resources in ways that improve Connecticut and local economy, environment, and quality of life.
