Small Cities, Big Infrastructure Challenges

Across the country, small cities are struggling to find adequate funding to replace and rebuild their critical infrastructure. The president has proposed the American Jobs Plan to rebuild the United States’ infrastructure and create millions of jobs. As the U.S. economy continues to recover from this historic pandemic, now is the time to spur an American recovery, create well-paying jobs, and tackle the infrastructure backlog in towns across the United States. Local leaders are ready to rebuild and deliver for their communities, but they need to be backed by a significant investment partnership such as the American Jobs Plan so that they can create resilient and sustainable infrastructure in every corner of the country.

Please join the Center for American Progress and the National League of Cities for a conversation with leaders of small cities who are fighting to improve their communities’ infrastructure and are pushing for critical investments in transportation, water, broadband, and the workforce.
