The Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC)

The Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC) is one of seven federal regional commissions and authorities authorized by the United States Congress to address instances of major economic distress in certain defined socioeconomic regions. The George Washington Regional Commission serves at the Local Development District (LDD) for the SCRC program in Planning District 16. Caroline County, including the towns of Bowling Green and Port Royal, is the only County in PD 16 that qualifies as a “Transitional County” and therefore is eligible for SCRC grant funding.
