CANCELLED: Shoring Up Communities: Investing In Resilient Infrastructure

**NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A WINTER STORM WARNING.**

Due to expected inclement weather along the East Coast, we have had to cancel tomorrow's event. Please visit us online or sign up for our newsletters to learn about future events and developments.

Please join The Pew Charitable Trusts for a discussion of the challenges facing our country’s infrastructure and approaches to safeguarding it from the effects of severe weather. The conversation will cover how the Trump administration and Congress can help the United States withstand natural disasters by modernizing infrastructure through smart policy, solid funding, and incorporating nature-based solutions. Leading mayors will draw on their experience to address how the country can finance innovative infrastructure projects that boost global competitiveness and save taxpayer dollars.
