PANEL: Placemaking with Federal Agencies

Placemaking practitioners are always on the hunt for new sources of funding and technical assistance to accomplish their projects. Thankfully, every year, it seems like there are more and more federal programs to help support this locally driven work. In this informative panel discussion, representatives from the National Endowment for the Arts, the US Department of Transportation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will share how these agencies are supporting placemaking in their work, and answer your questions about how you can access their resources and collaborate with them.
