Community Services Projects The Mid-Valley Partnership takes an integrated approach to assisting communities with infrastructure and development projects. Services include land use planning, strategic planning, capital improvements planning, preparing grant and loan applications to help finance public improvements and project administration. Although some activities are paid for with other resources, most grant and loan preparation work is at least partially subsidized with EDA planning grant funds. All of these activities support the same overall development goals and objectives and are summarized here by community.
