About the project
Why The Local Record exists
The Local Record is an independent digest for people who want an easier way to follow local government activity without wading through scattered pages, notices, and attachments.
Independence
This is not an official government website and does not speak for any municipality.
Source trail
Public entries point back to the original notice, agenda, post, or document.
Locality-first
Each locality keeps its own digest, source inventory, and correction trail.
What it does
Tracks selected public municipal sources per locality instead of trying to mirror an official site.
Groups updates into clearer resident-facing categories like meetings, news, alerts, and planning items.
Links every public entry back to the original source material.
How it works
Sources are registered per municipality and checked for changes.
New or updated items are normalized into a standard format so they can be sorted, filtered, and published consistently.
Official-source items publish with source links, and corrections stay tied to the source trail.
