Hi. Do you have a problem – not a personal one per se, but a community problem – that your local city, county or state government should be taking care of for you, but isn’t? Something important that is affecting your local economy or, in other ways, the quality of life and potential of families where you live?

If it’s something we might help you and other residents resolve, tell us about it. Send us an email to Info@LocalInitiatives.org. Just click on our email address that we just gave you and take as much time as you need to explain your situation. We’ll get back to you as quickly as we can – and will keep your email confidential unless you give us your permission to publish it.

Thanks for contacting us. Depending upon the specific nature of the problem, we’ll do whatever we can to help.
