We help Michigan “thrive local” by working with communities using data and tools that support efficient delivery of the critical public services that safeguard the health, safety and welfare of Michigan residents.

Welcome to the Center for Local Government Finance and Policy

The MSU Extension Center for Local Government Finance and Policy (CLGFP) at Michigan State University, a partnership between the MSU Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics and MSU Extension, was founded in 2015 to support communities in their efforts to efficiently deliver critical public services that promote health, safety, and well-being. The Center works to enhance decision-making for public officials in communities of all sizes through research, partnership, and education.
