Our sessions and local tours were carefully crafted to foster community wealth building and leave attendees feeling optimistic, empowered, courageous, and open-minded. Of particular focus was the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve the quality of life for residents through the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the American Families Plan. Taken together, these federal dollars amount to more than $6 trillion of investment in physical and social infrastructure. Local governments will be the gatekeepers for many of these resources and their decisions will have the single greatest impact on the future of their community since the industrial revolution.
