Case Study: Town of Capitol Heights improves fiscal transparency with ClearGov

Town of Capitol Heights - Customer Case Study

The Town of Capitol Heights, Maryland, a small municipality serving about 1,500 households and more than 4,000 residents, needed a more affordable way to improve fiscal transparency without adding work for its already limited staff. Its existing budget PDFs were hard to understand and search, creating more resident inquiries and taking up valuable staff time. ClearGov’s transparency tool was a strong fit for the town’s tight budget and limited bandwidth.

Using ClearGov, Capitol Heights was able to quickly publish clearer, searchable financial information simply by sending over spreadsheets for the site to update. The solution also gave the town administrator easier access to budget data for collaboration and forecasting during the budget cycle. ClearGov helped the town make its financial information more accessible, reduce administrative burden, and gain a tool that Jason Small said made his job much easier.
