PROFILE
Urban Research & Development Corporation (URDC) offers consulting services to governments, non-profits and private sector clients. Much of our experience is in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Since 1968, we also worked in Delaware, New York, Connecticut, South Carolina, and other states.
URDC’s public sector clients include municipalities, regional entities, and counties. State and federal agencies have also retained us. Our private clients include developers, investors, attorneys, and others involved in development and preservation activities of all types.
URDC offers many complementary disciplines and specialties. We complete projects of major scope and impact. At the same time, we are small enough to guarantee personal service on every project – large or small.
