Teams of federal employees are embedded with seven Mayors across the country to provide technical assistance to cut through red tape, increase government efficiency, and build partnerships to help local leaders implement sustainable economic plans. This report describes the impact of the SC2 Initiative and identifies emerging innovations that have the potential to be applied to many other communities working to strengthen their economies and job creation at the local level. SC2’s work has already enabled communities to maximize the impact of more than $345 million in existing federal funds. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
