NLC Overview: The American Rescue Plan and What it Means for Communities

Join us for a panel session with Anthony Clarence, CEO and Executive Director for the National League of Cities, for a conversation on the American Rescue Plan and funding for cities.

We’ll discuss how to prioritize community needs to immediately address COVID-related challenges such as struggling small businesses, real estate vacancies in town centers and downtowns, and understanding community market conditions in order to enhance community vitality. Geared toward city leaders from communities large and small, we welcome questions ahead of the event.
