The
Appalachian Council of Governments is a voluntary organization
of local governments in Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Oconee,
Pickens and Spartanburg Counties in Upstate South Carolina.
Created
in 1965, the Council of Governments has become a valuable
resource for area local governments in the areas of public
administration, planning, information systems and technology,
grants, workforce development and services to the elderly
population. While assistance to local government remains as
the Council's first priority, the private sector also benefits
from services designed to enhance the region's economic environment.
These efforts include public/private partnerships in support
of economic development, economic research and analysis, and
small business lending programs.
Encouraged
and facilitated through the Council of Governments, this marriage
of intergovernmental and private sector cooperation continues
as a critical element in the region's economy and quality
of life.
Serving six counties and 42 municipalities
since 1965
