Description
The Local Government Technical Assistance Inventory and Gap Analysis Project was designed to provide information about the scale and scope of technical assistance providers and programs across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, with a focus on free technical assistance available to local governments across the six watershed states. Through desk research, interviews and circulation of a standardized data collection tool, the project identified 122 technical assistance providers and programs, and collated these TAPs into an inventory. This report analyzes gaps in geographic coverage, service types and populations served, and provides both short- and medium-term recommendations to strategically target resources where they are needed. Results support the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement's Local Government Leadership Outcome, as well as other Watershed Agreement goals that are highly dependent on local government outcomes.
