As a result of the recession, local governments were forced to reevaluate their size while ensuring that they would still be able to provide all the necessary services. Finding the right size of local government for your community is a delicate, difficult, and highly individualized task. There is no one-size-fits-all solution; only you know your community’s needs.

Below you will find some resources on the Knowledge Network that address different issues related to resizing and downsizing local government. While this is undoubtedly a stressful time for local governments, it can also be a time for innovative solutions.

As always, if your local government has already come up with innovative solutions to resizing, share them on the Knowledge Network.
