Summary

The Bear River Association of Governments (BRAG) is a regional council serving Box Elder, Cache, and Rich counties. Bear River Association of Governments provides a bounded benefit: City and county officials in the Bear River region; businesses and developers needing CDBG or infrastructure planning support; low-income households and seniors accessing BRAG human-services programs — founders may.

Who It's For

City and county officials in the Bear River region; businesses and developers needing CDBG or infrastructure planning support; low-income households and seniors accessing BRAG human-services programs — founders may engage BRAG when local planning or CIB/CDBG funding is part of an expansion.

What It Provides

Community Development Block Grant administration, local planning assistance (general plans, GIS, housing plans), business outreach, regional mobility planning, and connections to CIB and other infrastructure funding — plus extensive housing and social service programs listed on the main site.

How To Use It

Start with the official website, then confirm current programs before recommending.

Cost / Eligibility

Planning assistance for local governments is funded through programs such as the Regional Planner Program (CIB); eligibility is program-specific. Human-services programs have income and residency rules — verify on brag.utah.gov.

Best Fits

A Cache Valley or Box Elder business expansion tied to infrastructure, CDBG, or county planning — or a local official coordinating regional ED. Not a general startup accelerator; pair with local SBDC or city ED for founder advising.

Open Questions

  • Current CDBG business-eligible project windows for the Bear River region?
  • Which BRAG business-outreach services are open to private companies vs. governments only?
