We provide a regional framework within which municipalities can jointly address common interests, and coordinate such interests with state and federal plans and programs.   

Established under Sections 4-124i of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Council of Governments (COG) is a forum for the chief elected officials of the nineteen municipalities located in the planning region.  Each member municipality has equal representation on the NVCOG board.  More information about the operation of the COG can be found in the NVCOG Bylaws.   For information on COG’s in Connecticut see the Office of Policy and Mangement’s Regional Planning Organizations web page.
