Innovative Capital Stacks: Local Ballot Measures Webinar
Securing the investments needed to safeguard and transform city infrastructure often requires innovative thinking. Federal funds may not be enough to cover the associated costs, or are contingent on matching dollars from non-federal sources. Many local leaders are exploring ways to tap into new and existing funding sources to fill this need and enable investments in new and enhanced infrastructure assets.
The Local Infrastructure Hub hosted a session on February 11, 2025, to learn from mayors and city leaders who have successfully leveraged ballot initiatives to secure infrastructure funding. Featured speakers include Mayor Freddie O’Connell of Nashville, Tennessee; Randy Borntrager, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Service for Columbus, Ohio; and Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, CEO of Accelerator for America Action.
