• Assisting member municipalities in expanding opportunities for efficiency in municipal services (see Shared Services Study)
• Providing local planning services and technical assistance to member municipalities as needed;
• Supporting the development of coordinated plans by other agencies that affect southeastern Connecticut;
• Strengthening our regional community by helping coordinate regional agencies and programs;
• Advocating for the region and its towns with the State and Federal Governments.
