RiverCOG is the council of governments for the seventeen Lower Connecticut River Valley Region municipalities.
As one of nine Councils of Governments (COGs) in Connecticut, RiverCOG is an extension of the region’s city and towns, governed by the chief elected and executive officers of each member municipality, and providing shared regional services under municipal direction.
Areas of RiverCOG responsibility and focus include regional transportation, land use, and emergency preparedness planning; shared municipal services (e.g. household hazardous waste disposal); conservation of land, viewsheds, and natural environments; and support of economic development, tourism, local agriculture, and other regional initiatives.
RiverCOG is also a federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for programming transportation funds and is also a state designated Regional Planning Organization (RPO) responsible for land use regulation oversight and the regional plan of conservation and development.
