The administrative status of small towns has been changed after the administrative territorial reform in Latvia. The greater part of them became the centres of administrative, economical and social development of the new administrative units – counties. The article reflects the research carried out to examine the views of the municipalities’ officials about the social and economical development of the eight municipalities’ towns in Northern Vidzeme. The theoretical framework of the study is based on the Complex approach to the local development investigation. The research study is based on the qualitative research method- semi structured interviews. The results from the study show that developed infrastructure, access of education and qualitative culture environment are the main factors that encourage development. But aging and emigration of inhabitants, bureaucratic obstacles created by state establishments unadvised administrative territorial reform and general distrust toward political institutions are obstructive developmental factors. However local self-governments support entrepreneurship in their territories according to budget possibilities and development strategies.
