Norwich — The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments is slated to receive $150,000 for a study and plan for regional shared services, as one of several recipients of state grants for regional planning councils announced on Tuesday.

The proposed study “would examine current activities of the region’s 19 towns, develop a comprehensive plan and model for regional shared services, staff and equipment, and identify potential cost savings that could result from implementing the plan,” according to a state news release.
