The Local Governance Dialogue Project
The Local Governance Dialogue Project is an intergovernmental partnership project concerned with the sustainability of municipalities in New York State. The Dialogue Project addresses the marked decline in the fiscal conditions and economic outlook of communities across the state. Stakeholders have an imperfect sense of the system forces in play and little agreement about which components of local government are of strategic importance. There is an absence of public discourse on the future of communities.
The main purpose of the Dialogue Project is to engender discussion with public officials and citizens about conditions that foster healthy local governments. We want to learn what our system of local governance provides, how it works, how it fits into the broader state system, and what local governments need to be healthy.
This Project is sponsored in part by the Office of the New York State Comptroller, Division of Local Government Services and Economic Development.
