These interviews point to seven actions to open the door to more competitive, resilient, and equitable economies. This brief contains findings from over 30 interviews with local leaders and association professionals from September and October. Their actions may point the way for others. But some leaders are thinking strategically and decisively, with plans to move beyond immediate recovery to advancing larger visions. Unfortunately, too few places are proceeding with the necessary urgency and organizational rigor. A resulting “go-slow” approach is sensible if used to identify goals, shape meaningful investments, engage stakeholders, and align funders. Challenges include a lack of organizational capacity, legal uncertainty, political complexity, and more. Opportunity is knocking at the door, yet most local governments are struggling to seize the moment.
