Local government doesn’t happen in a vacuum! Advancing a Thriving Richmond means working across federal, state, and regional levels to make sure that our city has the resources and partnerships it needs to get things done. The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs is responsible for fostering those close working relationships with policymakers, leaders, and partners.
