Municipal Restructuring
Mergers, consolidations, dissolutions, and shared services are often considered options of last resort, only for communities in crisis. As funding sources dry up, and as regulatory bodies put new pressures for accountability and impact on the shoulders of struggling local governments, restructuring might start to seem more palatable. Municipal restructuring isn’t just for communities in crisis. Even strong communities can benefit from a realistic survey of the landscape that identifies potential partners for achieving greater efficiency and effectiveness. Our work in the area of Municipal Restructuring focuses on a rigorous analysis of existing conditions, a thorough examination of a range of possible options for service reconfiguration, and a practical plan for implementing a chosen option. We also bring to the table extensive experience with incorporating input from a variety of stakeholders, and presenting complex material in an easy to understand and transparent manner.
