The Northwest Michigan Council of Governments (NWMCOG) is adopting a new name to more clearly identify itself and the services it offers to businesses and organizations in northwest Lower Michigan. Beginning October 1st, NWMCOG will become Networks Northwest. The name change coincides with Governor Snyder's Regional Prosperity Initiative, which puts a new emphasis on centering many state programs and services around common geographic regions. In response to that initiative and to streamline operations, NWMCOG's two governing boards voted in August to start meeting together and operating as a single board. That board will operate under the new Networks Northwest name. The name change is also helping NWMCOG mark an important milestone. In 2014 the organization is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
