‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌Hello, {{ person.firstname | default: 'friend' }}.







Do you have a sense of how much of your city's budget goes to debt

maintenance?

What percentage is made up from state or federal funding? Does your place

rely

on grants and other outside funding to maintain its infrastructure?







What happens to your municipal budget after several months of economic

slow-down

and reduced personal spending?







Strong Towns founder Chuck Marohn recently and the outlook isn't great.





If you're already working to build fiscal resilience in your place, we hope

we

can support you in your efforts. If you're just now discovering the

insolvency of your local budget, now is the

time to do something about it, and we're here for you.







Building financial stability is a matter of survival for towns across

America.







Stay well,







– Lauren at Strong Towns
