About OPDCI
The Office of Planning, Development & Community Infrastructure (OPDCI) is the State’s official land and water use planning and community development entity. We do this by assisting communities and local governments in creating resilient, sustainable and equitable places for people of all ages, incomes, abilities and backgrounds. Our innovative plan-then-act strategy combines community-driven planning with immediate and ongoing implementation.
All OPDCI initiatives are grounded in the principles of Smart Growth, climate resilience and the goals of the New York State Coastal Management Program. Robust diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility is at the core of our office, programs and the way we serve New York communities.
At its core, OPDCI is about people, neighborhoods and communities. We listen to who they are, what they need and then provide them with the tools, funding and technical support to help them achieve their vision for the future.
