Centre Region Council of Governments (COG)

The Centre Region Council of Governments is a voluntary association governed by elected public officials from College, Ferguson, Halfmoon, Harris, and Pattown Townships, and the State College Borough which are located in the Centre Region. COG provides the means of communication, cooperation, and joint action in the interest of the municipalities, individually and collectively.

Penn State University and the State College Area School District also have non-voting representation. Largely, consensus flows from the COG committee system, which prepare recommendations to be developed on regional policy issues. The standing COG Committees are – Executive, Finance, Facilities, Human Resources, Parks Capital, Public Safety, Land Use and Community Infrastructure, and Climate Action and Sustainability.

This channel is designed to be a tool to assist in communicating informational items and reports related to COG and its members and the agencies of the COG.
