Access to Federal Funding

The federal spending bills we have been hearing about hold all kinds of promise for our communities, but it is nearly impossible to figure out and how to access that funding for projects in the North Country.


The NCA is pleased to host a webinar discussion with Jon Cardinal, Director of Economic Development for Senator Schumer, who will shed light on what is actually covered in those spending bills and how the North Country can benefit.


The April date has not yet been confirmed, but watch for details coming soon!
