The Connecticut Rural Development Council (CRDC) is a partnership organization formed by the State of Connecticut and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture in 1994. It has representatives of local, state and federal government, regional organizations, non-profits as well as private sector and tribal partners. CRDC is linked to similar organizations in other states through the National Rural Development Partnership office in Washington, D.C., and through a National Rural Development Council comprised of federal agency representatives.
