Shoreline Economic Strategic Planning Summit


REX Development, formerly known as the Regional Growth Partnership (RGP), was formed in 1996 as the economic development public/private corporation of the South Central Regional Council of Governments, serving the 15 municipalities in the Greater New Haven Region.

The primary mission of RGP was to encourage cohesiveness between the public and private sectors in the development of policies and programs designed to make the South Central Region a vibrant, sustainable and competitive economy. RGP developed the region’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy in 2003 and 2008.
