The Upper Cumberland Development District is a governmental agency created by the Tennessee General Assembly to administer regional programs to the 14 counties of the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee: Cannon, Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Smith, Van Buren, Warren, and White. For over 50 years, our organization has been serving the residents of this region by providing solutions through regional cooperation and it is our belief that the 14 counties, along with the many municipalities contained within, are made stronger through regional cooperation and shared resources.
