The Five County Association of Governments is a voluntary association of
local governments from the five southwestern counties of the State of Utah.
The five counties in southwestern Utah that comprise the Five County Association of Governments
are Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane and Washington.
2009 marks the 37th anniversary of the establishment of the Association, although informal cooperation amongst the five member counties and municipalities has happened for more than half a century.
Farsighted leaders of the past envisioned the time when our world-class scenic landscapes, mild climate, beautiful communities and hard-working people would
foster the evolution of a major regional center in the West. That time has arrived. Southwestern Utah has come into its own. The Five County Association of Governments is a key player in aiding locally elected officials in coping with
regional challenges.
The Association has office locations in St. George City and in Cedar City. More information on the Association, including our Vision and Mission, as well as office addresses, can be found on the "What is The FCAOG" link on the "Information" tab above.

UTAH'S PATCHWORK PARKWAY
CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN
State
Route 143 which traverses the
heart of southwestern Utah between Parowan City, up through the town of
Brian Head, past Cedar Breaks National Monument and on over to
Panguitch City, was just designated as a Federal
Scenic Byway. Prior to this new designation the highway was a
State Scenic
Byway and a U.S. Forest Service Scenic Byway. The
highway is now
known as "Utah's Patchwork Parkway".
Staff
members
of the Five County Association of Governments' Community
& Economic Development Program worked intensely with members
of the Corridor Steering Committee to produce a Corridor Management
Plan (CMP) for this highway corridor which was a key part of the
application for the federal designation. The Corridor Steering
Committee
adopted the Corridor Management Plan at their meeting on Adopted May
18, 2006 and was subsequently amended on November 6, 2008.
The
submitted Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is available for viewing
on-line by
