About the Division of Local Government Services
The Division of Local Government provides training and technical assistance to local governments and community organizations throughout the state and helps local officials solve problems involving basic powers and duties, public works, municipal organization, planning, land use and regulatory controls, and community development. One of the goals of the Division is to serve as a "one-stop-shop" for New York local governments. Local officials can request assistance through e-mail on this Web site.
The Division also assists rural local governments through leadership and participation in the Adirondack Park Agency as well as other organizations. The Division is also responsible for management of the Appalachian Regional Commission program, which provides financing assistance to local governments with infrastructure needs and economic and community development.
