About WINCOGWhat We Do | How WINCOG is Funded | Board Members | Regional Planning Commission Members | Staff | Title VI Policy Statement What We DoWINCOG provides a forum for inter-municipal discussion, coordination, and decision-making. Workshops on timely issues are occasions for such discussion and coordination. Regional referrals provide information on local zoning and subdivision actions that might impact other municipalities. WINCOG acts as a clearinghouse for information about the towns in the region. We maintain a library of current census and other demographic data, maps, plans, and planning literature. Periodic news releases keep municipalities informed on regional issues. WINCOG provides member towns with the most recent U.S. Census statistics, as well as information about current best practices in planning and zoning on topics of particular interest. WINCOG members and staff are involved in preparing studies, plans and recommendations for many aspects of the regional community, including:
WINCOG assists the region's towns by providing occasional professional planning services, at no charge to member towns, on general and technical planning matters, including:
More intensive or long term staff assistance is also available for special planning services or projects at a cost covering staff and expenses only. Towns have contracted with WINCOG for complete revisions of plans of development, for review and update of zoning and subdivision regulations, for GIS mapping projects, and for interim staff assistance to planning and zoning commissions. How WINCOG is FundedUnder state statute, regional planning organizations may accept funds from any sources and solicit funds from members. Generally, federal and state grants, dues from member towns, and contracts for special services with various municipal and other governmental agencies make up the council's annual budget. About fifteen percent of WINCOG's annual budget is contributed by towns through per capita assessments. Local funds are used to match federal funds for projects such as transportation, to address issues not funded through other sources (such as land use planning, economic development and housing), and to provide technical assistance to member towns.
