The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments is a regional planning agency and voluntary association of local governments. Our role is to assist leaders in addressing common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, and coordinating for regional development. The agency’s purpose is to strengthen both the individual and collective power of local governments and to help them recognize regional opportunities, eliminate duplication of efforts and make joint decisions.
BCDCOG serves a three-county region in South Carolina and includes 30 member governments. The COG’s board of directors provides a forum for local leaders to discuss common issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries, identify common goals, and determine a course to address them.
Through thoughtful planning and partnerships with our members, we work to ensure
prosperity for the tri-county region.
