Center for Local Government

The mission of the Center for Local Government is “to improve public service delivery by the cities, townships, villages, counties, joint fire districts, and park districts in Southwest Ohio, especially among its member jurisdictions, through improved information exchange, cost reductions, shared resources, inter-jurisdictional collaboration, and new approaches to capital equipment and skills acquisition.”

The Center works to achieve this mission everyday by providing opportunities shared services (e.g. self-insured health insurance pooling), information exchange (e.g. networking, pay data benchmarking), and training (e.g. human resources forums or the CLG Leadership Academy).

We were formed in 1990 by a group of City Managers and Township Administrators in the Greater Cincinnati Area and currently have a membership of 70 local governments.
