Unlocking Federal Funds for Region-Wide Economic Transformation
October 15, 2026 | 1–2pm ET | 12–1pm CT
Virtual Webinar
Details: The Great Lakes region represents one of the world’s largest and most important economic centers. The Cities Initiative’s Fresh Coast Economic Transformation Action Plan, 2025–2035 is a comprehensive blueprint for local governments and economic development organizations to work together and strengthen that position for the future. In collaboration with our partners at the Great Lakes Economic Development Council and Merchant McIntyre Associates, join us for a look at how local governments can access and leverage federal funds to transform their communities into centers of future-conscious, freshwater-oriented growth and innovation.
This webinar will explore the plan’s major priorities, associated funding opportunities, and the role economic development organizations can play in advancing a more competitive and connected Great Lakes economy.
