“If we’re not in the weeds, who else is going to be advocating for us?”

Our newest episode of the CitiesSpeak podcast features Mayor Bianca Motley Broom, City of College Park, GA of City of College Park Government and president of the Georgia Municipal Association in conversation with NLC about proposed changes to federal grants.

In the episode hosted by Michael Wallace, NLC’s legislative director of Housing, Community and Economic Development, the two examine proposed changes to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Guidance, which governs federal grants and other forms of federal financial assistance.

Communities across the country rely on federal funding for infrastructure, housing, public safety and economic development projects; Mayor Motley Broom discusses how the proposed changes could affect local governments’ ability to plan, budget and deliver services.

Drawing on her experience leading College Park — a city of approximately 15,000 residents located just outside the Atlanta metropolitan area — and representing municipalities across Georgia, she shares why certainty, flexibility and strong federal-local partnerships are essential for communities of all sizes.
