Tri-Town Recreation and Facilities Master Plan
Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments (AVCOG)
The AVCOG region covers over 4,200 square miles of forested mountains and fields carved by pristine lakes and rivers. The Twin Cities of Lewiston and Auburn, located in the southern portion of the district, share a combined population of 59,000 people, making it the largest hub in the region.
Fourth Economy was engaged to help the COG identify and review the region’s current recreation assets for opportunities and threats to inform implementation plan strategies.
Our Approach
We are working to develop a matrix of potential projects for each of the three towns that incorporates factors such as level of impact, general timelines/logical phasing strategies to ensure the most efficient and sustainable achievement of the plan, and potential funding opportunities for
implementation of plans or infrastructure needs. The goal of this implementation guide is to best set up the region, the municipalities, and other identified partners to pursue funding sources to carry
out the Recreation and Facilities Master Plan.
