Concho Valley Council of Governments

What Concho Valley Council of Governments does

The Concho Valley Council of Governments (CVCOG) is a voluntary non-profit association of local governments headquartered in San Angelo, Texas, that serves as the regional administrative and service-delivery entity for 14 counties in rural West Texas spanning more than 17,000 square miles and approximately 168,000 residents. The organization operates a portfolio of federally and state-designated programs including the Area Agency on Aging, Head Start and Early Head Start (5 centers), Regional 9-1-1 emergency communications supporting 15 Public Service Answering Points, 2-1-1 Texas information and referral services, an Aging and Disability Resource Center, Americorps Senior Volunteer Programs, the Regional Law Enforcement Academy, a Testing and Training Center, and veterans transportation services through the TVC General Assistance Program.

CVCOG's underlying technology infrastructure centers on regional emergency communications — GIS mapping, address coordination, 9-1-1 network monitoring, and a recently launched School Safety Indoor Mapping proof of concept with GeoComm and the Commission on State Emergency Communications. Services are delivered through a distributed network of 13 senior centers, 5 Head Start centers, regional call centers, and the main office at 5430 Link Rd, San Angelo. The organization holds subsidiary relationships with the Concho Valley Economic Development District, Inc. (CVEDD) and the Concho Valley Transit District (CVTD).

CVCOG operates on a government grant-funded model with no commercial pricing; revenue derives from federal appropriations (Head Start, Older Americans Act Title III), Texas state agency pass-throughs (Texas HHSC, Texas Veterans Commission, Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Space Commission), and member government contributions. Recent strategic activity includes a $500,000 SEARF grant from the Texas Space Commission (February 2026) for a spaceport feasibility study led by RS&H, marking CVCOG's first major move into the aerospace economic development vertical under newly appointed Executive Director Erin Hernandez (July 2025).
