CPA Forum on Capitalizing Communities Held

In order for urban and rural communities to develop and flourish, institutional investors must make a concerted effort to invest a larger percentage of their capital into these communities, concluded participants at CPA’s recent “National Leadership Forum on Capitalizing Communities.” The conference, held on December 10-11 in Washington, DC, brought together over one hundred government, public and private sector leaders to discuss how to form local and regional partnerships that will bring long-term investment to these at-risk communities.
