Welcome to the New Cascades West Website!

We’re excited to share our new website and new domain with you. It’s still the same Cascades West, now with a fresh new online home.

Strengthening communities. Shaping a better region together.

Serving Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties

WHAT WE DO

We're promoting a thriving region.

OCWCOG helps communities collaborate to solve problems and connects member governments, businesses, and individuals with a wide array of services. Our role in the region is further strengthened through recognition by the State of Oregon and the federal government in transportation, aging, economic development, business lending, and regional planning.
