EfficientGovNow, a new initiative from my employer the Fund for Our Economic Future, is now online. The idea is to reward those local governments with the best government collaboraton programs. Up to $300,000 in grant money is available to local governments that partner with other governments to reduce costs and increase the region’s economic competitiveness. The grant money is for implementation, not planning.
The initiative has two phases. First, local governments will be encouraged to apply for the grants. That’s the phase we started today. In the second phase, the public will determine which of the proposals deserve the grant money. That phase will start this summer. We hope this program both encourages government collaboration and promotes more citizen involvement in reshaping our region.
