Northeast Connecticut Economic Partnership
In 2001 and 2002, twenty-two towns in Northeastern Connecticut worked together to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for submission to the US Economic Development Administration. Most of the towns are members of the Northeastern CT Council of Governments (NECCOG) or the Windham Region Council of Governments (WINCOG).
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2007 Update is available on WINCOG's Publications page. The update was submitted to the EDA in June, 2007.

Regional Transportation Plan as adopted October 2005
The Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan 2004-2030 is currently available on the Connecticut Department of Transportation web site.
FEMA - Regional Emergency Planning
Under contract with the state’s Division of Homeland Security, WINCOG will continue to staff its Regional Emergency Planning Workgroup. This group will focus on identifying opportunities for regional cooperation and coordination in the use of emergency response resources. A list of workgroup participants is available in Adobe Acrobat format.

FEMA - Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Planning
With a grant from the CT Department of Environmental Protection, WINCOG prepared a regional hazard mitigation plan for its member municipalities. A hazard mitigation plan is required for eligibility for project grants under FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program and other federal grant programs. The current plan is effective until February 16, 2012.
