SEMCOGregion_location

SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, is the only organization in Southeast Michigan that brings together all of the region’s governments to solve regional challenges.

SEMCOG strengthens local government and regional decision making by:

  • Providing data and unbiased analysis for informed decision making affecting Southeast Michigan and its local governments;
  • Promoting the efficient use of tax dollars for both long-term infrastructure investment and shorter-term governmental efficiency;
  • Delivering direct assistance to member governments in the areas of transportation, environment, and community and economic development;
  • Solving regional issues that go beyond the boundaries of individual local governments; and
  • Advocating on behalf of Southeast Michigan in Lansing and Washington.
