Planning & Development Resource Company
We’re here to support communities in achieving their vision.
PDRCO is a city planning and economic development consulting firm based in Birmingham, Alabama, that helps communities move from adopted plans to real-world results. We partner with local governments, regional partners, and real estate developers and builders across Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee to close the gap between planning, vision, and execution by strengthening local capacity, building community trust, and advancing place-based economic development.
We believe in communities.
PDRCO takes a collaborative, implementation-focused approach grounded in the best professional practices of the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Certified Planners. Every project advances the mission, vision, and values of the community we serve — because no two places are the same.
