Northern Oneida County Council of Governments
2025 Service Survey

The mission statement of the Northern Oneida County Council of Governments, or NOCCOG, is providing technical assistance, including planning, grant writing, and training, as well as creating a framework for intermunicipal cooperation and communication among member communities with outside organizations, on behalf of the NOCCOG municipalities.

As a group, NOCCOG strives to turn its mission statement into action and to be considered a viable resource to the 17 towns and villages that compose the group. To ensure that NOCCOG continues to be an asset to the member municipalities and to help us improve our overall delivery of service, we are asking local officials to take a few minutes and complete this survey. The goal of the survey is to check your municipality's familiarity with NOCCOG, illustrate some of the needs of our communities, and to provide direction on where NOCCOG can assist.
