The South Alabama Regional Planning Commission (SARPC) is a locally controlled and organized instrument of local government in Southwestern Alabama, serving Mobile, Baldwin, and Escambia counties and twenty-nine municipalities. SARPC provides programs and services in community development, employment and economic development grant administration, senior and social services, and transportation planning, acting as a resource for communication, coordination, advocacy, policy-making, and technical assistance to facilitate the resolution of common problems and issues in the South Alabama region.
Founded in 1964 as the Mobile Regional Planning Commission and expanded in 1968 to include Baldwin and Escambia counties, SARPC collaborates with federal, state, and local entities to deliver its programs and services. As one of twelve regional commissions in the State of Alabama, SARPC plays a vital role in the development and growth of the region, working closely with government representatives, elected officials, non-profit organizations, and private-sector leaders.
