Tools to Revitalize California Communities

CDIAC is pleased to present a new series of educational courses on the tools for community revitalization. CDIAC will co-host seminars and panels designed to provide local government officials with tools that would assist them with community revitalization. Tools presented will include loans, grants, and programs offered for specific purposes including school facilities, affordable housing, industrial development facilities, health facilities, pollution control facilities, brownfield remediation and redevelopment, community planning, and small business financing.

For more details about our effort to educate local government, please read A Vision for California, as printed in the March 2002 issue of our monthly DEBT LINE publication.
