Publications

We create and have access to a wide variety of historic and current studies, statistics, and plans on issues that affect our Region. Our resource library includes reference materials, manuals, and handbooks useful to officials in small towns and is open to the public.    Materials can be reviewed by appointment, where a staff member can guide you to the right source you need. Some materials are also digital and can be forwarded upon request.  Please call with any questions about information we may have.

Below are some of our more recent regional or multi-jurisdictional publications.  Additional publications specific to particular subjects can be found under each Program page.

It also serves as the Region’s basic planning manual and can be used as a guide by member towns in the local planning process.
