Great initiative! Thanks for sharing. This will go a long way to upgrade many shore areas. But it’s still a competition to provide only so much funding leaving some areas out in the cold. NJ, along with all States, need to think about doing ALL infrastructure projects. HR 4052 for the creation of the Nation’s fifth National Infrastructure Bank. This huge banking platform will fund all of America’s infrastructure projects w/o creating more debt or more taxes. Not only that but millions of folks would be trained & put in the workforce that will create economic growth. Think about it - nibcoalition…#nationalinfrastructurebank

Excellent campaign well done to all involved.

National AmeriCorps just completed studies to measure the impact our programs have on communities and people. The results? Every dollar invested in AmeriCorps returns triple - and in some cases - tenfold returns to our communities. The approximate return on investment varies for each program, but all highlight the value and impact of our programs on our community. Check out the results of the study.

Alta's Spencer Finch joined the Transportation Equity Caucus in an early August webinar to discuss the U.S. Department of Transportation's Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) federal grant program. The webinar roundtable provided easy to understand guidance in more accessible language, so that disadvantaged communities across the U.S. can better tap this once-in-a-lifetime funding opportunity. The panel covered how to identify eligible transportation projects, how the program can fund structural change (and not "just another infrastructure project"), how to successfully apply for an RCP grant, and how to factor affordable housing, anti-gentrification and anti-discrimination measures into grant applications. Grant applications have been streamlined, and are due Sept 28. Learn more about the RCN grant program here:

Strengthening Our Communities with the BRO Program! 🌉 The Off-System Local Bridge Replacement (BRO) Program, part of the Bridge Formula Funds, is set to benefit our rural communities significantly. This initiative focuses on protecting, preserving, rehabilitating, and replacing crucial off-system bridges in rural areas. NDOT selects these projects based on rigorous inspection data and structural assessments, ensuring the most critical needs are addressed. How Does This Benefit Our Communities? 🦺 Improved Safety: Enhanced and well-maintained bridges mean safer travel for everyone. 💰 Economic Growth: Reliable infrastructure supports local businesses and agriculture by facilitating smoother and more efficient transport of goods. 🏡Community Connectivity: These projects help maintain vital links between rural communities, ensuring residents can access essential services. Check out the Nebraska Bridge Funding options below and stay tuned for the 2024 BRO Program funding announcements, which will be released in the next few weeks! Several projects funded through the Off-System Local Bridge Replacement (BRO) Program will soon begin construction in our rural communities, including: • Atkinson SE (Holt County) • Beaver Crossing South (Seward County) • Spencer NW (Boyd County) • Winnebago North (Thurston County)

Speaking from the perspective of someone directly engaged on a day-to-day basis over how to flatten the curve of skyrocketing insurance premiums in catastrophe-prone states, fortified home programs such as this one in Louisiana are vital. I highly recommend suggesting to family and friends who are in need of risk hardening for whatever reason to take advantage of this program. I guided my in-laws through Florida’s sister program earlier in 2023 to great success. An absolute coup for homeowners with roofs and opening protection in need of upgrades. You will save money on home upgrades you will have to complete at some point regardless as well as on insurance premiums. You will also have the peace of mind when the wind blows next. And rest assured, the wind will blow again.. #deftgroup #insurance #riskmanagement
