Unlocking federal, state and local capital: How communities can leverage grants to fund economic goals
August 27, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Energy and infrastructure grants from federal, state, regional and private sources are essential to budgets, funding critical infrastructure, public safety and community revitalization projects. While local governments rely primarily on property, sales and other taxes for revenue, grants can provide tremendous opportunity for small to mid-size communities to diversify their revenue. Communities can leverage grants to plan infrastructure-led growth and provide stability amid leadership transitions and fiscal recovery efforts. Join Baker Tilly to learn how your community can leverage grant funding to unlock your economic goals.
