Reimagining Local Government in the Wake of Recent Crises Will Build Public Trust

Abstract

We have been fundamentally changed by the crises of the past several years from the pandemic and its effects to the climate crisis and we have the opportunity to improve exponentially because of them. It is our challenge to reimagine local government in a way that “builds back better” in partnership with the private, non-profit, and state and federal government sectors and through dedicated, effective public engagement.
