MISSION
North Country Rural Development (NRDC) Coalition is a non-profit organization established in 1984 for the purpose of connecting and enhancing our Tri-County service area through housing restoration, downtown revitalization, historic preservation, and community development programs.
Welcome to NRDC
The North Country Rural Development Coalition
As our 40th year of service begins, we reflect on all that we have been able to accomplish through the support of our partners, friends, local governments, and community. Thank you for your confidence in us – but there is much more work to be done, and we can’t do it without you.
NRDC is committed to addressing economic disparities, and we are energized about moving forward with our housing programs, downtown revitalization, historic preservation projects, and economic development initiatives that will genuinely improve many people’s lives in our area. We try to provide various options for individuals and businesses to invest in our organization each year.
Join us in making real change in 2024 by investing in our community’s future. Your support allows us to continue to provide safe and quality housing rehabilitation, tackle food insecurity, and promote revitalization in our downtown community. Imagine what we can do together to impact more lives in the future. If you are interested in joining NRDC as a 2024 Corporate Sponsor or Member, we would be grateful for your support. Please fill out the interest form (located here) or call our office for more information! Together, we will continue the mission that began 40 years ago: to preserve homes, support people, and revitalize our communities.
