Public Information & Regional Services

The Public Information and Regional Services Division consists of 9 programs with six different federal and state agencies providing funding. Even with such a varied division, the Regional Services division is dedicated to assisting and providing services to the citizens of East Texas. Our objective is to provide services to East Texas in the areas of Economic and Community Development, Business Loan Services, Environmental Services, Housing and Public Information.

With so many programs it would seem that every need is covered, yet this is not the case. ETCOG and Regional Services is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to serve the public need and are working to make East Texas a better place to live, while preserving what makes this region unique.
