What We Do
RiverCOG is a non-partisan forum for communication and cooperation across municipal boundaries, facilitating the identification of common issues and the pursuit of effective responses to regional challenges. RiverCOG brings together local governments, supporting shared regional services and coordinated planning.

Regional Planning
The RiverCOG region is established around one of Connecticut’s greatest resources – the lower Connecticut River. Planning for our region with the goal of retaining its character and green spaces, while building on the environmental and economic values that our region embodies is an important part of RiverCOG’s mission. This planning will be based on the policies and recommendations of a new Regional Plan of Conservation and Development and in the review of intermunicipal referrals, which will be overseen by the Regional Planning Committee (RPC).
