South Central Regional Council of Governments-Home

The South Central Connecticut Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) brings together local governments to coordinate land use and transportation planning. The Council provides a forum to foster communication, coordination and collaboration in identifying and addressing regional issues. Following state and federal guidelines, SCRCOG prepares a regional plan of development, reviews land use changes that affect member municipalities, and develops and updates a regional transportation plan. SCRCOG also provides a meeting point for collaborative action by our member cities and towns.
