Obama Sets Sights on Urban Renewal

Fine article today in the Washington Post by Michael A. Fletcher on President Obama's urban agenda. Missing from the story is how counties are just as vital to urban renewal as cities. NACo's Large Urban County Caucus (LUCC), who met recently in Allegheny County, Pa. prior to the G-20 meetings in Pittsburgh, are focusing on three initiatives this year: health care reform, building urban communities, and improving government operations. More information is available on the LUCC page of the NACo Web site.
