East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG) is committed to delivering impactful regional solutions, guided by the leadership of their board, executive committee, and advisory committees. To highlight the results of their work, they have released the 2024 Solutions Reports, providing a county-by-county snapshot of the services and resources delivered during Fiscal Year 2024.
These reports showcase ETCOG’s service deliverables across critical areas, including economic development, environmental impact, public safety enhancement, senior services, public transportation, and workforce development.
Across the region, ETCOG is proud to report the following accomplishments:
- $8.7M allocated in regional grants
- $2.5M invested in the 9-1-1 system
- 89.3K job seekers and employers served
- 11.6K seniors received essential services
- $32.4M provided for childcare assistance
- 128,643 GoBus trips provided
- 457K meals served to seniors
- 1,654 peace officers trained
Each Solutions Report breaks down these results at the county level, showcasing how ETCOG has directly supported residents and local jurisdictions. Copies of the reports are distributed to area elected officials and ETCOG members this month, along with their annual dues statements.
ETCOG’s local membership dues, contributed by cities, counties, and special districts, help fund general council operations and provide required matching funds for key federal and state programs that benefit East Texas.
Digital reports are available on their website year-round. To see how ETCOG has specifically served each county, view the 2024 Solutions Reports at www.etcog.org/solutions-reports.
