The consortium will provide an opportunity for cities, townships, villages, and counties to benchmark their performance in key service areas with the facilitation and resources offered by the State and Local Government Program, an impartial party, dedicated to assisting municipalities excel fiscally and economically.  To provide more information to local governments and kick start the consortium, the State and Local Government Program and the Michigan Municipal League are co-hosting an event to introduce leaders to the benefits of benchmarking and the structure of the consortium.
