Gibson Worsham, AIA, has been appointed to the National Capital Planning Commission. Established in 1924, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is the federal government’s central planning agency for the National Capital Region, which includes Washington, DC and adjoining areas in Maryland and Virginia. NCPC incorporates broad national interests into the agency’s planning guidance. This includes safeguarding the visual pre-eminence of Washington’s iconic civic and symbolic structures which have contributed to the identity of our nation’s capital for more than 200 years.
The Commission, which meets once a month, protects and advances the federal government’s interest in the region’s development and provides overall planning guidance for federal land and buildings by reviewing the design of federal and certain local projects, overseeing long-range planning for future development, and monitoring capital investment by federal agencies.
