NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments (NWNMCOG) is a voluntary association of local units of government, serving as the regional planning organization for the northwest corner of New Mexico, also known as State Planning and Development District I. As such, it serves as one of seven such districts in the state, which were formed by state statute. For twenty years, the organization was known as the "McKinley Area Council of Governments," but in 1988 the local governments in Cibola and San Juan Counties became members, thus expanding the organization into its present format as the "Northwest New Mexico" COG.
