What: Investing in Manufacturing Communities Reception
When: October 21, 2015
Where: Washington, DC
The Northeast-Midwest Institute will co-host a reception for the 24 communities designated by the Department of Commerce as “manufacturing communities” and their Members of Congress on October 21. The Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) initiative is designed to accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing in communities nationwide by supporting the development of long-term economic development strategies. Selected communities receive coordinated support for their strategies from eleven federal agencies with more than $1 billion available in federal economic development assistance. The 24 designees will be in town for meetings and peer-learning on October 21 and 22 and the reception will provide them with a chance to network and meet with their Congressional Representatives.
