Triangle J Council of Governments

TJCOG Announces Transition to Central Pines Regional Council: https://bit.ly/3Jfeatw Originally established in 1959 as the Research Triangle Regional Planning Commission, the Triangle J Council of Governments is a member-based organization that serves a seven-county region, addressing the tough issues that transcend political boundaries such as transportation, sustainable resources, affordable housing, and economic development. Our 37 member governments span across all counties - Chatham, Durham, Lee, Johnston, Moore, Orange and Wake - and include 30 municipal governments across those counties. TJCOG achieves its work through multiple roles: -- Convening local governments and regional stakeholders; -- Educating on local and regional opportunities for collaboration, cost sharing, and leveraging best practices; -- Advocating for regional solutions and initiatives; -- Creating, administering and assisting on local and regional programs.
