Municipal Services

SECOG provides municipal services to its member municipalities in a variety of ways.

Technical Assistance: There are a variety of ways that technical assistance is provided including, but not limited to: working with Planning & Zoning Commissions to update Plans of Conservation and Development (POCDs), providing interim planning assistance, research and data collection for a variety of topics, and GIS analysis and map creation. For more information, visit the Technical Assistance page.

Shared Services: For many smaller municipalities, it is not always cost-effective to hire full-time staff. SECOG provides staff assistance under contracts to several member municipalities. For more information, visit the Shared Services page.

Land Use Training: SECOG frequently partners with the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) to provide free training to members of municipal land use commissions in southeastern Connecticut. For more information, visit the Land Use Training page.

Sustainable CT Certification Assistance: As of August 2024, there are nine registered municipalities in our region who have achieved Sustainable CT certification. For more information, visit the Sustainable CT page.
