Elk County Planning Department
Mission Statement - The Elk County Planning Department is responsible for carrying out the duties as set forth in the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) PA Act 247 of 1968, as amended and enacted. The Planning Department staff works directly with the Elk County Commissioners and the Elk County Planning Commission. The Planning Commission consists of nine members each representing an area of the County.
The Elk County Planning Department on behalf of the Elk County Board of Commissioners is now accepting proposals for the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Funding is received through the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) and requires that at least 70% of the allocation be used to benefit Section 8 low/moderate Income (LMI) persons. If your organization is interested in submitting a request, please contact Becki Taylor, CDBG Coordinator at (814) 776-5335 for more information.
