What is shovel ready in your town?
I’ve just returned from New Orleans, where I spoke at the Conference Board’s annual Work Life meeting. This was my first trip to NOLA, and I was struck by the very open and raw appeals by New Orleanians for help, help from tourists, the Feds, and the state. From the President of Tulane University to our tour guide in the Garden District, everyone we met shared an openness about the need for concentrated and coordinated civic action to save their city. Well, a lot of cities need saving of some type. The Stimulus Package seemed very abstract to me until I got the email below from a local family services agency in my town.
What’s shovel ready in your neighborhood?
