[about olg]

Enhancing the economic viability of Kansas communities and improving the quality of life for the citizens who live there by strengthening local government institutions.

Continuing an 80-year tradition of extending university resources, K-State Research and Extension created the Office of Local Government. The OLG program makes explicit K-State Research and Extension's commitment to enhance community economic viability by offering assistance to local governments, a vital partner in the continuing endeavor to strengthen communities.

OLG provides educational outreach, technical assistance, applied research, and information and referral services to city and county governments, local organizations, the county Extension network and citizens throughout Kansas.
