Regional Planning Organization of Northwest Connecticut
Our Mission.
NHCOG’s mission is to make Northwest Connecticut a better place to live, do business, and visit by providing a forum for local officials to discuss issues of inter-municipal concern, promote regional cooperation, and direct various regional initiatives to enhance government planning, efficiency, and service delivery.
Established under Sections 4-124i of the Connecticut General Statutes, NHCOG began its work on January 1, 2014. It is the product of the consolidation of two former regional planning organizations - the Litchfield Hills Council of Elected Officials and the Northwestern Connecticut Council of Governments. The COG prepares a regional transportation plan, and a regional growth plan and is also involved in planning for housing, economic development, emergency management, and natural hazard mitigation.
