*The Federal Role Transformed: Forging the New Landscape *

April 18-20, 2010

Washington, DC Metro Area


The 2010 Federal Economic Development Forum offers three days of informative
sessions, a first-rate lineup of speakers, and the opportunity to gain
insight on federal economic development policy.

The 2010 Federal Forum will examine how the federal government has shifted
to a more active role in economic development and what the shift may mean
for your community. A year after the enactment of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, the Federal Forum will provide you with the opportunity
see how the landmark legislation is impacting economic development, and how
you can continue to take advantage of tools and resources to benefit your
community.

With a renewed emphasis on sustainable development, renewable energy and
energy efficiency, innovation and infrastructure development, reshaped
federal economic development policies may pose fresh challenges as well as
present new opportunities. The President’s Fiscal Year 2010 Budget and
subsequent agency announcements indicate a greater push toward coordinated
policy-making across federal departments and collaboration in areas such as
transportation, housing, and the environment.
