Inaugural NCA Speaker Series

The NCA’s Speakers Series is held during the noon lunch hour. The next event will be held later in the summer. 

The NCA held its inaugural Speaker Series event on Monday, May 15 titled, “Accessing Federal Funding for the North Country.” Jon Cardinal, Director of Economic Development for U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Charles E. Schumer spoke about the different funding programs that are currently available at the federal level that will benefit municipalities and organizations across the North Country. He provided insight into how the programs work and how to be poised to apply when applications become available.


Topics of discussion included broadband, infrastructure, and housing. For more information on the federal programs people can email Joshua Pearlman at Joshua_pearlman@schumer.senate.gov.
