As about three quarters of HVCEO's annual funding is dedicated to TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, that concern is HVCEO's main function. Comments concerning area transportation issues are welcome. Access to HVCEO's many transportation studies is available.

Providing access to DETAILED DEMOGRAPHIC DATA is a key HVCEO activity. Census data for 2000 is being integrated into the current data base as it is released in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

HVCEO staff serve as limited referral and reference desk function for some planning related research questions. Calls responded to are listed in the RECORD OF LOCAL ASSISTANCE. A review of this record indicates the types of information HVCEO is most prepared to provide.

HVCEO produces its own series of PLANNING PUBLICATIONS. Paper copies are available at ten cents per page or at a fixed price per volume. A complete set of municipal plans of development and zoning regulations are available for review at the office.

Important to the region are topical subareas such as WATER SUPPLIES, EMERGENCY PLANNING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING and CASINO OPPOSITION. These and more are referenced in the SITE INDEX.

A wide variety of topics of intermunicipal concern are discussed at MEETINGS of the members of HVCEO, all of whom are mayors and first selectmen in the area. Their LEGISLATIVE AGENDA for the area is also available for review.

PLANNING MAPS are a key to good local management and are the base for municipal and regional studies. Paper or digital copies from the HVCEO collection are available for a fee.

Questions concerning RESOURCE RECOVERY AND RECYCLING can be addressed to the Housatonic Resources Recovery Authority (HRRA), a regional partner of HVCEO, at the same address and phone as HVCEO.
