The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) is a public agency representing 22 towns, cities, and boroughs in southeastern Connecticut. Established in 1992, SCCOG focuses on regional planning, transportation planning, and providing regional services to its member municipalities. As the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for transportation in the region, SCCOG plays a crucial role in coordinating transportation planning and prioritizing state and federal transportation funding. Additionally, SCCOG undertakes various studies and initiatives to support responsible development and intergovernmental cooperation in the region.
With a primary goal of intergovernmental cooperation, SCCOG serves as a technical resource, aids in solving regional issues, and provides a collective voice for the region. The council is responsible for establishing a plan of conservation and development for the region, assisting member municipalities, and performing advisory review functions. SCCOG also offers regional services, including staffing assistance to local land use commissions and exploring avenues for cost savings and inter-municipal cooperation. Through its ongoing efforts, SCCOG strives to promote sustainable development, economic growth, and the overall well-being of southeastern Connecticut.
