Stimulus Water Restoration Initiative – A campaign to bring stimulus funding to your municipality
On July 6, 2020, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative will be launching the campaign to advocate for financial resources to address these needs and ensure your city can receive stimulus funds to put your citizens back to work and to improve your community and the water basin.
