Region XII Council of Governments was organized in 1973 to assist local governments in Audubon, Carroll, Crawford, Greene, Guthrie, and Sac Counties in western Iowa. Although originally chartered to serve grant-writing and planning needs for the area, the COG has grown into the agency that facilitates multi-community collaboration and development of all types, providing initiatives in the region that are needed and otherwise not provided. Region XII COG has three departments - Local Assistance, Workforce Development, and Western Iowa Transit. Region XII is conducting this survey to gather information about community needs and service requests of member governments. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
