| The Pennsylvania Wilds Planning
Team (PWPT) is a group of county planners,
regional economic development and heritage
organizations, local government associations and
other stakeholders. The PWPT meets monthly to
share information, discuss potential impacts –
positive and negative – of the initiative in the
12-county region, and to undertake activities
collectively to assist communities in
capitalizing on the economic potential of the
initiative without spoiling the area’s rural
character and charm. The PWPT has developed a
historic Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement
to formalize this partnership as well as to make
the Planning Team eligible for state funding
under the PA Department of Community and
Economic Development Shared Municipal Services
Program.
