While grants can help communities to make critical investments in infrastructure, environmental resilience, and economic development, grant pursuit and management often demands significant time and resource commitments with uncertain outcomes. This roundtable session will focus on: 1) engaging Delaware local government officials in a conversation about obstacles to pursuing and managing grants and 2) discussing how a pilot program coordinated by Delaware Sea Grant may be best designed to support community needs.

Hosted in collaboration with Delaware Sea Grant, this session is the latest in the Institute for Public Administration's Recover Delaware Roundtable series. Launched in partnership with the Delaware Emergency Management Agency, this series features conversations on economic trends, community needs, and opportunities impacting Delaware's ongoing recovery from the pandemic.
