关于我们

Since 1976, the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG) has been a steadfast advocate for communities across Southeast Idaho. As a community-based nonprofit, SICOG is dedicated to connecting residents with essential public services and resources in a manner that is effective, efficient, and affordable, driving both economic and social development. A key focus of our work is through our Community and Economic Development team, which offers comprehensive, cost-effective solutions to regional challenges. Our efforts include addressing aging infrastructure, overcoming barriers to economic development, and improving access to capital to meet pressing community needs. Additionally, SICOG is committed to ensuring that all communities have access to safe and reliable public transportation. Through services like grant writing, grant administration, and inter-agency coordination, we serve as a vital link between local, state, and federal entities, advocating for the needs and priorities of our communities. To further strengthen our local economy, SICOG manages a Revolving Loan Fund that provides small and growing businesses with the financial support necessary for expansion and job creation. By empowering these businesses, we help sustain the economic vitality of Southeast Idaho, recognizing the critical role small businesses play in our region’s prosperity. In addition, SICOG houses the Area V Agency on Aging, which offers a wide range of essential services to our aging population. In collaboration with senior centers and other nonprofits, we provide in-home care, nutritious meals, caregiver support, respite services, ombudsman assistance, veterans' direct care services, and Adult Protective Services (APS). These programs are designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors and their families, promoting independence and well-being. Through these initiatives, SICOG remains committed to fostering vibrant, resilient communities throughout southeast idaho.

    Curious About What an EDA Economic Development District Is? Let Me Explain! As the Executive Director of the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG), I’m frequently asked about what it means to be an EDA-designated Economic Development District. I’m excited to explain how this designation is pivotal in shaping our region’s economic landscape. Here’s a look at what it entails and how SICOG is contributing to Southeast Idaho’s growth. An EDA Economic Development District (EDD) is a federally supported region focused on promoting economic growth and development. This designation helps us create strategies to enhance local economies, support businesses, and improve community infrastructure. A key component of this is our Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), which outlines our long-term vision and action plan for regional economic development. At SICOG, one of our goals is to drive comprehensive economic development across Southeast Idaho. We work on various initiatives, including providing technical assistance, facilitating access to federal funding, and leading regional planning efforts based on our CEDS. By supporting these efforts, we aim to strengthen our communities, foster business growth, and stimulate sustainable development throughout the region. Being an EDA-designated district allows us to access valuable resources and expertise, enabling us to better serve our communities and advance local economic development initiatives. We’re proud to be at the forefront of shaping a vibrant future for Southeast Idaho. If you’re interested in learning more about our work, the CEDS, or how we’re supporting economic growth in our region, feel free to reach out! https://lnkd.in/gqmrddyH #EconomicDevelopment #SICOG #EDA #CEDS #RegionalGrowth #CommunityDevelopment #SoutheastIdaho #SmallBusiness
