FINANCE STRATEGIES for SMALL CITIES and TOWNS.

 THE IDEA OF A FINANCIAL STRATEGY. 

In business, this idea would be about the business model for the enterprise, a strategy for expanding short-term income and long-term wealth. But this terminology is tough for public agencies even though the vision is the same; hence, a financial strategy is the euphemism of choice. But the questions are the same – what are the city’s long-term sources and uses of funds? How can the uses be efficiently managed to meet community needs and expectations? How can the sources of funds be preserved, enlarged and expanded? A municipal finance strategy is the means for securing the city’s future.
