Working with municipal leaders from across the country, from communities of varied sizes and locations, alongside members of the business community, CLA's and FCL's COVID-19 Response and Economic Recovery program will surface creative solutions that create a culture of predictability and sustainability in our cities and towns. These solutions will be rooted in the principles of business resiliency, regulatory modernization, process efficiency, economic accessibility, and risk management.
The program’s mission of building relationship to surface, discuss, and strategize solutions to the most intractable challenges arising from COVID-19 recovery at the local level will be lead by an Advisory Committee comprised of current and former local, state and federal leaders, as well as private sector innovators - all with the experience and knowledge to help guide this important cause.
