Capitol Region (Connecticut)

The Capitol Region refers to a specific group of municipalities that are part of the Capitol Region Council of Governments.

Other councils that fall within the Greater Hartford area the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency and the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments (formerly known as the Midstate Council of Governments).
