The Local Government Commission assists local governments in establishing and nurturing the key elements of livable communities:

•     a healthier human and natural environment,
•     a more sustainable economy,

•     an equitable society.

LGC assists local governments in developing and implementing policies and programs that help establish these key elements by:

•     Facilitating conferences, regional workshops and other partnering opportunities;
•     Producing guidebooks, videos, slide shows, and several monthly newsletters that share policy and project ideas;
•     Providing an extensive resource library run by qualified staff;
•     Providing an e-mail alert service that shares information on available state and federal grants.
