Economic Development Planning. The Northern Rocky Mountain RC&D and Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District provide assistance to communities and counties to plan for their economic growth and implement specific economic development programs and projects.  Support for the RC&D's economic development planning activities come from the Montana Department of Commerce's Certified Regional Development Corporation (CRDC) Program.  Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District is supported through a planning grant from the Economic Development Administration.
