The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission’s administrative arm is the Southwestern Pennsylvania Corporation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Corporation accounts for all funds, enters into contracts, and employs a staff to support the Commission’s work.  Its operations are funded through a combination of federal and state planning grants, SPC member contributions, in-kind service contributions, and grants from private foundations to support various transportation planning and economic development projects. The Corporation’s resources are applied to the core functions including SPC’s daily administrative operations and agency Work Programs. 

The Corporation employs a professional staff to carry out the day-to-day work of the Commission.  The staff represents an invaluable resource in a wide range of policy and program areas, with expertise in such specialties as transportation planning, strategic planning, economic development, financing, government contracting, exporting, local government services, Geographic Information Systems, and data management.

The Corporation hosts many different events, including
this Diversity Business Resource Center event in 2009.
