Notes:' The article I chose to edit is Local Governance Commission. I plan on contributing information about the coalition including how they started/ history, where they are located, what their main mission is and what they have accomplished thus far. I will discuss topics like smart growth, the ahwahneei principles, and some of their programs like the Americorps Civicspark program.

Rough Draft for Peer Review:

- Revise main entry so it does not have so many direct quotes.
