Local government has never been more complex.

We’re here to help.

What We Do

9th Street Partners provides senior-level consulting services to local governments and school divisions across Virginia, backed by 150+ years of combined public-sector experience.

Our mission is to ensure that every locality and division — regardless of size, staffing, or resources — has access to the caliber of expertise that consequential public decisions deserve, and to translate that expertise into the strategies, plans, and outcomes that communities need to move forward.

Our Philosophy

Look at our team page and you'll see that we're all different. Different backgrounds, expertise, and skills.

What binds us together and gives meaning to our work is our shared belief in the value of public service. We see it as a profound opportunity to make the lives of others better.

That's what brought each of us to local government. We've managed classrooms, run EMS calls in the dead of night, balanced complex budgets, and exercised leadership at the highest level, from the superintendent's office to council chambers.

It's because we've been there that we know the work of local government has never been more complicated. Which is why we're here — to support communities across Virginia in tackling their most pressing operational, financial, and governance problems.
