Central Pines Regional Council Official Rollout! | |
After a busy summer of transition from Triangle J Council of Governments to Central Pines Regional Council (CPRC), we have completed the final step in our rebranding journey: the launch of our centralpinesnc.gov website and email domain, and a newly designed Central Pines Regional Council website. With this monumental change, CPRC became the first regional council in the country to transition to the .GOV domain.
@CentralPinesNC.Gov will communicate an essential fact: we are a public entity.
