What We Do
The mission of the Northwest Hills Council of Governments (NHCOG) 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 intermunicipal concern, promote regional cooperation, and direct various regional initiatives to enhance government planning, efficiency and service delivery.
​
NHCOG began its work January 1, 2014. It is a 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, a regional growth plan and is also involved in planning for housing, economic development, emergency management and natural hazard mitigation.
