How EY can help local governments

The economic and fiscal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are unique to all local governments. Overall, revenues have fallen less than initially predicted, but nearly all jurisdictions have suffered some degree of job loss, business closures, and budget shortfalls. A new round of federal relief promises stability and equal opportunity for the near term. The future remains uncertain, regarding the pace of recovery, what remote work will mean for real estate values, whether some jobs will ever come back, and much more.

Local leaders want to recover better than before. Although “better” may have different meanings between jurisdictions, there are common themes: a sustainable fiscal path forward, a revitalized economy ready for a changing world, and a commitment to equity.

We are helping local governments manage the COVID-19 crisis today. EY's unmatched capabilities will help local governments take on the challenges ahead and shape the future.
