How is APC focusing on rural and urban revitalization?
The Acadiana Planning Commission (APC) secures federal funds for urban and rural revitalization. This is possible because the APC is a federally designated Economic Development District. The APC works with stakeholders to identify priority projects, conduct strategic planning, coordinate with federal partners, and secure funding.
The goal is to identify rural and urban revitalization projects that will make a lasting impact on the communities served within the district to improve the quality of life and strengthen the local economy.
What areas are being served?
The APC serves LA Planning District 4. This is a multi-parish economic development planning district that includes:
- Acadia
- Evangeline
- Iberia
- Lafayette
- St. Landry
- St. Martin
- Vermilion

Currently, the APC has 4 main rural/urban revitalization projects underway: Fiber to the Home, Water, Sewer, Gas and Electricity, Brownfields Development, and Community Planning.
