Local Government Efficiency Grant Program

The Local Government Efficiency (LGE) Grant program is intended to incentivize new actions between local governments that will reduce the cost of municipal operations and modernize the delivery of local services, thereby limiting growth in property taxes. Applicants must illustrate significant commitment to project completion and clearly demonstrate, through financial estimates and performance measures, the long-term benefit to New York taxpayers. Two or more local governments are eligible to apply for funding assistance to plan for and implement shared services, functional consolidations and local government consolidations and dissolutions not eligible under the Citizens Reorganization and Empowerment Grant (CREG). (For more information about eligibility under the CREG program please contact the Division of Local Government Services at +1 (555) 000-0000.) Applications are evaluated based on the potential municipal tax levy impact, project need, service delivery benefits, operational changes, local and regional capacity, project readiness (ability to complete the project in 5 years) and the comprehensiveness and specificity of the work plan and budget.   Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Set Aside: No Minority Owned Sub-Contracting Goal: 15% Women Owned Sub-Contracting Goal: 15% Due date:05/10/2024 4:00 PM Contract term: 5-year term County(ies): All NYS counties Business entities awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: see attached
