The Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG), the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC), and the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) invite municipal leaders and water & wastewater facility directors to an information session & discussion about state funding available for water and wastewater infrastructure.
