North Carolina Councils Of Governments
The North Carolina Councils of Government (or the Regional Councils of Government) are voluntary associations of county and municipal governments, established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1972 that serve as an avenue for local governments across North Carolina to discuss issues that are particular to their region. In banding together at the regional level, the voice of one community becomes the voice of many, thus providing a better opportunity for those issues to be addressed. Today the majority of citizens and local governments in North Carolina are represented by regional councils, making them an increasingly important facet of local government operations. The following entry provides a glimpse into these organizations, showing how they have evolved with respect to the services they provide and how they are funded. Lastly, a summary of the enabling statutes that allow these councils to function in North Carolina has been provided.
