The Northwest Hills Planning Region is a planning region and county-equivalent in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is served by the coterminous Northwest Hills Council of Governments (NHCOG). In 2022, planning regions were approved to replace Connecticut's counties as county-equivalents for statistical purposes, with full implementation occurring by 2024. [1] [2]
