This is a hybrid meeting. Information regarding this meeting will be sent by your chapter officer.

The Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Spring Point Partners, is hosting a webinar with municipal leaders, advocates and other experts to share lessons learned and best practices on lead service line replacement in smaller municipalities (with populations of roughly 5,000-35,000). We encourage all public water systems and municipalities interested in lead service line replacement to attend, especially those who have not yet removed their lead service lines. During this webinar, EPIC will also share information about a new incentive program, the Lead-Free Water Challenge, we are launching to assist small municipalities with lead service line replacement.

Businesses and economic developers have spent much of the last year scrambling to adapt to extraordinary circumstances. While the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, with vaccine distribution under way, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 2021 will be the year of transition. Barring any unexpected catastrophes, individuals, businesses, and society can look forward to shaping their futures rather than just grinding through the present. The next normal is going to be different. MEDA takes a look at some of the factors that economic development and business leaders should keep in mind as they prepare for the next normal.
