To make their innovative infrastructure projects possible, local communities in the U.S. need a civic infrastructure and technical assistance that support their long-term capacity.
Recent historic investments in U.S. infrastructure have given us the opportunity to alter the status quo to ensure projects benefit the communities they serve, but that requires a shift in the typical approach. Here's what we can learn from these U.S. communities that challenged the infrastructure development status quo.
In November 2023, the 15 Community Connectors grant program teams convened for a workshop in Atlanta, where they discussed values, goals, stakeholder networks and technical-assistance and capacity-building needs for their infrastructure projects. Read the key takeaways.
