Local Government Consulting

SPI offers a very specialized set of services for local governments. The type of assistance SPI offers cannot be found anywhere else. Robert Stluka, former Mayor and City Councilmember for the City of Round Rock, leads the SPI Local Government Division and he has the assistance of many governmental affairs veterans, former elected officials, researchers, and economic development experts.

SPI's Local Government teams focus on specific and unique objectives, whether it be help with economic development, legislative monitoring and counsel, customized research, finding grant funding, or press and coalition building. SPI researchers excel in identifying new streams of federal funding, tracking and assessing emerging trends, providing market research, and providing insight into legislative initiatives.

The SPI team is committed to assisting local government entities as well as private vendors trying to market to them. Clients benefit from the experience of former Mayors, City Managers, and other procurement experts who tailor services to meet the needs of each client.
