Core offering

MPPDC is a regional planning district commission that delivers regional planning, flood resilience coordination, economic development, transportation planning, housing and community development, and maritime/working waterfronts services to six counties and three towns in Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The organization distributes grants and loans to property owners, conducts commuter ridematching and surveys, and operates the Fight the Flood online marketplace connecting flood-affected property owners with vetted contractors and financing tools for resilience projects such as living shorelines, septic repairs, and home elevations.

Product overview

The Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission operates as a regional government organization offering a coordinated portfolio of planning and development programs rather than a unified software product. The core programs include Fight the Flood (coastal resilience), Virginia's Coastal Wilds (outdoor recreation/tourism), MidPenRideShare (commuter transportation), Planning & Land Use, Economic Development, Transportation Planning, Working Waterfronts, and Housing & Community Development. Sub-initiatives include the HUB33 Telework Center and Living Shoreline Incentive Program. These programs work together to address regional challenges including flood resilience, economic vitality, transportation, housing, and environmental stewardship across Virginia's Middle Peninsula.
