Case Study: Town of Walpole achieves clearer fiscal transparency and benchmarking insights with ClearGov

Town of Walpole, WA - Customer Case Study

The Town of Walpole, MA wanted to move beyond basic fiscal transparency and give residents, town leaders, and finance committee members clearer context around the numbers. In partnership with ClearGov, the town sought a way to answer public questions more effectively and compare its financial data against similar Massachusetts communities using benchmarking and easy-to-understand reporting.

ClearGov implemented a Transparency site for Walpole, complete with peer benchmarking for neighboring towns, school district data, dynamic graphs, and commentary features to add context to financial figures. The town also promoted the site through its homepage banner and public meetings, and within six months of launch the ClearGov profile generated 7,300+ views, helping reduce phone calls and improve citizen engagement.
