WHO WE ARE
In a growing and diverse area like the Pee Dee Region, solutions are a vital necessity for the continued growth and vitality of the region. The transaction of the counties within the region by several critical U.S. and South Carolina highways, make proper transportation planning all the more important to the region’s healthy growth.
Through our extensive expertise in transportation planning, the Pee Dee Regional Council of Governments has assisted the region’s communities in securing funding for the expansion and rehabilitation of numerous vital transportation corridors. In addition, services such as transportation corridor planning, long-range transportation plan development, and our long-standing cooperative relationship with the South Carolina Department of Transportation have all served to help ensure that funds are being spent prudently to best serve the communities in the Pee Dee Region.
OUR ROLE
