The Harry S Truman Coordinating Council has been providing services to Southwest Missouri since 1991. Member governments of the Council include cities and communities in our SW MO four-county district of Barton, Jasper, Newton and McDonald Counties.
One of HSTCC's primary goals is to provide the best use for limited resources in order to meet local needs. HSTCC aims to provide member communities with an improved quality of life for a reasonable investment.
The HSTCC will promote human resources, educational opportunities, community development, economic development and environmental development in order to enhance the quality of life for the region's inhabitants.
We accomplish these objectives by:

• Providing professional staff assistance to local governments and organizations in the region
• Serving as an advocate for the Harry S Truman region before federal, state and local governmental agencies and other organizations that influence or affect public policy
• Promoting the economic development of the region

Providing a forum for the discussion and resolution of common problems and issues affecting the HSTCC region
