What We Do
The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is a voluntary Council of Governments formed to initiate and implement regional programs and initiatives to benefit the member towns and the region. It is guided by the chief elected officials of our 38 Metro Hartford municipalities who recognize that the future of our individual members is tied to the future of our region as a whole. Our members have collaborated for more than 50 years on a wide range of projects, services, and initiatives.
CRCOG is the largest of Connecticut’s regional planning organizations with a population of 976,248 and a land area of 1,047 square miles. The CRCOG region is well-situated between New York City and Boston, and is rich in diversity, history, and natural resources. CRCOG’s team of professional staff work to promote responsible land use, sustainable transportation systems, economic vitality, and quality of life. The organization also advocates for its capital city and member towns and provides various shared services to facilitate governmental efficiency.
CRCOG recognizes that diversity is one of the capital region’s true strengths. We acknowledge that there are inequities and disparities that disproportionately impact communities based on race/ethnicity, wealth, income, and other factors. At the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG), we believe diverse, inclusive, and equitable business practices are key to enhancing the quality of life, sustainability, and economic vitality in our region. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI+B) with our staff, municipal members, and community partners.
CRCOG FOUNDATION
Established in 2005, the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) Foundation, Inc. was created to support the broad range of planning and direct service activities carried out locally by Capitol Region municipalities and regionally by CRCOG. The Foundation is dedicated to advancing policies and programs in four strategic areas—Transportation, Community Development, Public Safety, and Municipal Services—and serves three key roles: as an educator, a convener, and a funder.
