Abstract

Local governments must deal with many complex issues, ranging from pollution to economic stimulation, health care, recreation, land use planning, water, sewerage, and transportation. Often such issues transcend city, county, and even regional boundaries. One reaction has been the creation of substate planning and development organizations such as Councils of Governments (COGs), metropolitan councils, regional planning organizations, and economic development districts. Such substate organizations leave local units of government intact but impose a new structure through which local governments can interact. One purpose is to provide services and expertise to small units of government, particularly small towns and rural areas, that lack the financial and technical capacity to deal with these problems independently
