About Gov1

We’re helping local government move forward. Gov1 is an information service that tracks innovative solutions to fiscal and operational challenges facing cities and towns around the world. We write and disseminate articles that span the breadth of municipal operations, from consolidation to public safety, from pension reform to public works.

Chances are good that you’re facing significant challenges governing your city or town under limited resources. With municipal officials becoming very creative in the face of diminished state and federal aid, we believe there is a need to spread the word about how local government is evolving.
