What Drives IMAGINE Berks?

What does the Department of Agriculture, Workforce Development Board (WDB) and the Berks County Planning Commission (BCPC) have in common? They are all departments underneath the Department of Community and Economic Development in Berks County. That explains their connection, but what do they all have in common? Each of these departments oversee some of the biggest factors affecting the County’s future, our land use policies, workforce strategies and development pipeline. 

Under the umbrella of IMAGINE Berks, which started out as the county strategic economic development plan, we identified the importance of housing, infrastructure, agriculture, placemaking, and the built environment, all the things that make up the fabric of Berks County and who we are as a community. This website is intended to showcase the interconnectedness of these departments, the work they do, and what it means to the future of Berks County. Stay tuned and help us continue to IMAGINE Berks.
