| 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.
