Ahem..."Sure it does."
Gov indeed does, but alas, yes; the bane of most local governments is a seeming inability to "do" anything big or initiative-related year after year. Often, this is a result of local office being won by popularity, or a better presentation of fill-in-the-blank platitudes. “We must X!” "We need to Y!" "I will make Z our top priority!” Lost in limits of such declaration is, “How, exactly?” When the how is both unknown and supplanted with affectations of know-how or action and doing (often, actually), it then becomes a liability.
This referenced "both" above needn't coalesce. Local elected officials (especially) are friends and neighbors, not county planning, or municipal project financing, or economic development strategy and negotiation experts. For the true leaders among those elected, success is a matter of owning it, and then engaging the expert doers (like us).
We know. We've been there, seen it, faced this often challenging conundrum of expectation, and done. We are Local Gov.

Making It Actually HAPPEN
Most local governments unknowingly hold the tools needed to "get it done.” That’s where Local Gov ("LGov") comes in. Our team of experienced and accomplished experts have made the once proclaimed undoable, doable. It’s what we did repeatedly in local government. It’s what we do now with and for local governments and jurisdictions.
Operating under Home Rule or Dillon's Rule (where local governing powers and decision making may only be exercised after, and as expressly granted, by a locality's state legislature), your local gov holds both prior-afforded capabilities and a means to acquire specific governing powers to make it happen.
ADMINERTIA vs ACTION
Local leaders and officials ready to break free of the kind of revolving administrative busyness too often conflated with real action – the commissioning of more studies, appointments of focus groups, engaging in reiterated government mission- and vision-statement exercises, or the like – need to look no further than Local Gov.
LGov has literally been there, and done. We've made the big, large-scale, ambitious projects happen. We've created first-ever, ground-up public private partnerships, and have introduced and deployed never-before-used government strategies to bring a myriad of challenging and complicated initiatives to fruition.
