The League would like to share an upcoming briefing that the National League of Cities is hosting on Monday with city leaders from university and college towns across the U.S. I hope you can attend or share this with your team!
Congressional Staff Briefing: University and College Towns Facing Economic Crisis During COVID-19
Monday, July 20th, 1PM EST
Join city leaders from college towns across the nation as they share the current economic effects precipitated by the COVID-19 crisis. From emptied neighborhoods near campus, to struggling businesses and transportation, to how to support safe returns to campus in the fall, the challenges are widespread. The longer-term threats are also becoming clearer, including if the Census undercounts dispersed college towns, they may have a lost decade of federal support. Hear how communities are taking on these challenges as they plan for the safe reopening yet an uncertain recovery ahead.
