SOUTHWESTERN COMMISSION—REGION A COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
The state is divided into sixteen regions, each region encompassing a cluster of
counties and towns. These clusters blanket the entire United States and are
alternatively known by many terms; regional commissions, councils of local
government, area-wide planning districts, lead regional organizations, and economic
development regions. Whatever the name, each is structured similarly and serves a
similar purpose—to assist and provide technical support for local
governments within the region.
The Southwestern North Carolina Planning and Economic Development Commission
(Southwestern Commission) is the Council of Governments (COG) comprised of and
serving the seven western most counties and the seventeen municipalities therein in
North Carolina.
The mission of the Southwestern Commission is to improve the quality of life in its
seven county service area by assisting local governments in reaching their goals.
