ICMA: Leaders at the Core of Better Communities

Federal, state, and other investments are critical to local efforts to reduce energy use, curb greenhouse gas emissions, improve air and water quality and decrease vehicle miles traveled. As communities have demonstrated, sustainability funding enables cities and counties to leverage additional public and private dollars, and helps to create new jobs and economic growth.
As local governments prepare for 2012, several key questions should be asked:

• What types of funding will be available for renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean vehicles, smart growth, green infrastructure and other sustainability initiatives, and how can localities prepare to be competitive?
• What types of technical assistance will be available from EPA, DOE, DOT and other federal and state agencies?
• What sustainability policies are likely to be debated in Congress, and will how will they impact cities and counties?
  

In this 90- minute webconference, join funding experts from Sustainable Strategies DC for a discussion on how to prepare an effective local strategy to secure grant dollars and other resources for your community sustainability priorities. The webconference will help you identify available resources and develop an agenda to successfully match funding opportunities with community priorities. The presentation will also provide tips to help localities begin preparing now to be most competitive for these opportunities.
