The Federal Role Transformed: Forging the New Landscape
The 2010 Federal Economic Development Forum offers three days of informative sessions, a first-rate lineup of speakers, and the opportunity to gain insight on federal economic development policy.
The 2010 Federal Forum will examine how the federal government has shifted to a more active role in economic development and what the shift may mean for your community. A year after the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Federal Forum will provide you with the opportunity see how the landmark legislation is impacting economic development, and how you can continue to take advantage of tools and resources to benefit your community.
With a renewed emphasis on sustainable development, renewable energy and energy efficiency, innovation and infrastructure development, reshaped federal economic development policies may pose fresh challenges as well as present new opportunities. The President’s Fiscal Year 2010 Budget and subsequent agency announcements indicate a greater push toward coordinated policy-making across federal departments and collaboration in areas such as transportation, housing, and the environment.
What does all of this mean for you?
