National Capital Planning Commission

Established by Congress in 1924, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is the federal planning agency for America's capital. Through planning, policymaking, and project review, NCPC protects and advances the federal government’s interest in the region’s development. The twelve-member Commission provides overall planning guidance for federal land and buildings in the region by reviewing the design of federal and certain local projects, overseeing long-range planning for future development, and monitoring capital investment by federal agencies.
