With large amounts of new funding being discussed in Congress and a recovery still in process, LDDs need to know what’s being proposed, how to most effectively utilize this funding, and how to make their voices heard.

Following former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin’s September 14 Capitol Hill Update, federal appropriations expert Michael Higdon will lead a town hall session on September 16 on how LDDs can educate congressional offices on the importance of supporting local development districts.

Then, breakout sessions on topics including rural broadband, export marketing, entrepreneurship support, and Opportunity Zones will help you spend your funding using best practices.
