Shared Municipal Services

As a Council of Governments, the FRCOG creates shared services programs that allow our member municipalities to achieve efficiency by sharing resources, such as our Town Accounting Program, our Franklin County Cooperative Inspection Program, and our Cooperative Public Health Service. Similarly, the FRCOG offers municipal services such as collective purchasing and bid services, that member towns can access as needed.
