Revitalizing Older Cities Task Force
{the caption goes here} For too long the needs of smaller, older communities have not been a concerted focus of federal policy. I helped create and am co-chair of the Revitalizing Older Cities Task Force because I believe our great manufacturing cities and regions, which were once the engine of our economy, can thrive again. I am pleased that we finally have an Administration that understands the importance of this, and I look forward to working with them to bring attention to our unique set of issues.
