Aug. 16 webinar to discuss how rural areas can use federal infrastructure funds to boost local economies

The Aspen Institute will host a webinar at 3 p.m. ET on Aug. 16 to discuss how rural and tribal local governments can leverage new federal pandemic relief funding to invest in infrastructure. 

From the webinar website: Water, roads, bridges, broadband, and affordable housing are all critical for rural communities to thrive, but such infrastructure is crumbling in many areas because of deferred maintenance or lack of equitable investment, access to capital, or strong government relationships. This underinvestment has made it difficult for many rural Americans to access basic needs like clean drinking water and safe housing, which hurts rural health outcomes and economies.
