Feature — Local Government Studies
"Highly valuable" and "cost-effective" are two terms used frequently by local leaders who have called on the Vinson Institute for practical, timely studies that give them fresh insight into issues vital to their communities' futures. Institute faculty are recognized for conducting customized studies that reflect an acclaimed process.
Whether it is performing a multidepartmental review on the request of a county manager or conducting a study of the fiscal viability of a potentially incorporated municipality, Institute faculty strive to provide information that is both thorough and objective. The study process involves data collection and analysis, interviews, and comparison with local governments of similar size and situation. As relevant, the final report not only discusses consequences but presents options and alternatives for consideration.
